Cheap clip on fender for rear?

Do any of you guys have one of these? How do they work? I don't ride THAT much, but its nice to have a little protection when its wet outside. I don't like the look of the full fenders really.

I just have a plastic one that I clip on to my seat tube. a lot of people put them on the seat post, but meh, they work just the same. They keep my ass dry just fine.

yep, works well except when you go fast enough that the front tire starts spitting at you too.

They are not cheap, but one should only use a messenger bag as a fender when riding a track bike on the street.

This just means you need a bike with less tire clearance, the frame is the best front fender ever.
