I have a set of Planet Bike Mudguards on my Bike Friday they are their 20" ones
Another place where smaller wheels are an advantage, perhaps?
the Polycarbonate plastic used, is quite sturdy.

DIY mount.. 3/4" flat bar of aluminum is pop-riveted on ..
(BiFri Does That, on their own EZ stow mudguard )

a have a (former SKS part) strut Pair on the back one .. My stainless steel welding buddy
put 2 tabs on them at the point they ends butted were joined.

he thought differently than I , so the tabs were above and below the strut .
so I crossed them over each other

so the tabs were between the 2 struts where they arch over the rear ..
used the common 20mm spacing of reflectors , to drill the holes in the mudguard

Grommets pressed thru the holes in the tabs . offer a vibration isolation..
small ss bolts with SS washers and Nylock nuts join the 2..

in short add more struts ./. thicker maybe alloy flat-bar?

the struts that PB supplies , grip the edge of the Mudguard,

in-Shop installs,.. I Just use the standard parts.
