For the front I used an SKS Shockblade and a spray shield mounted on the downtube. This protects the bottom bracket and the front derailer pretty well. It also comes off pretty quickly when I don't need it.

For the rear I used a clip-on but I added a piece from another fender to extend all the way down to the bottom bracket. The rear is mounted over the brake.

The only tool I have to use is an allen wrench under the fork.

The whole thing looks like this (without the splash guard)
