Greets again fellow treadlers,

Just wondering from your collective experiences if anyone can recommend a brand of road or tourer bike mudguard, more readily available down-under. I'm talking more the traditional style, covering around half of the arc of each wheel, attached with additional stays to frame eyelets... I want some better protection for me & my drivetrain.

now it seems winter has begun, at least in Perth... the less excuses I have beyond basically 'it just p!55ing down outside' for not commuting, the better.

I can recommend the SKS Chromoplastics. http://www.sks-germany.com/sks.php?l=en&a=product&i=6409800121

I bought my set of the 35mm width guards from St Kilda Cycles in Melbourne for my current winter bike project (old steel frame with eyelets I had resprayed and building with old spare parts) after the recommendation from a work colleague. He uses these on his commuter and as he doesn't own a car he needs the best protection from the elements!

The previous set of full guards I had were Zefals with quickclips (checking the zefal site it looks like they have redesigned them) and were useless. The quickclips stopped holding the guard soon after fitted so I was forced to use quantities of electrical tape to make them last the one winter!

SKS are good. They are pretty secure. I occasionally need to adjust them, but not often, usually after taking the bike off road.

I have a set of Soma Eurotrip fenders (http://www.somafab.com/eurotripfenders.html) which have been very good.
