Highly regarded mudguard set for bikes without mounting lugs, pretty much essential at this time of year. Most people in my club have these and they seem to work well without excessive rubbing etc.
RRP is £30, most places are around £20. This is a price match with Amazon (free delivery for Prime), also extra 10% British Cycling discount possible if the Halfords bod allows you the BC discount on top of the web-only price (not all do, it's technically not allowed) meaning price would be £14.90.

Not being funny, but its helpful for people if you give a reason why.
I've personally found these quite good on a Cannondale Supersix. The clearance is very low, and they are a fiddle to get on with a little bit of rubbing and movement, and occasional readjustment, but I think its to be expected.
Despite niggles, they keep the surface spray off your bum and feet which is the main thing. I'm always pleased come spring when I can take them off again, but they do the job and this a great price.

I'd say about 60% of my club now have these, many having moved from Raceblades. Like all mudguards they are fiddly to set up, but once fitted properly they don't rattle.

Depends on the bike in question - one of my bikes has an old frame without much in the way of wheel clearance and without lugs for mudguards - these are about the only mudguards that will fit and they work perfectly. I suspect they are just a bit too complicated to fit for some posters ;-)

plus an additional 10% off for bike tools and maintenance through Topcashback, with their code B16TM03
they are absolutely fantastic had them on 2 road race bikes now where there is virtually no clearance. for the wet there a must have. fellow riders will thank you too as they wont get a face full of water. even used with conti 25mm.

I've used these for 3 years now. You have to be careful as they break easily if you are clumsy. However I learnt how to use them effectively and they are very light. I have just bought some SKS extra long race blades mk2 but they are over £40.
For £16 these are very good value.

I wouldn't say they are a terrible product but I bought a set for a Boardman hybrid with disc brakes and due to the location of the front caliper I couldn't get them to fit without rubbing.
I did end up buying SKS ones which sill had to be modified (by bending the support around the caliper) and they have been rock solid and remained on the bike for 2 complete years now without needing to be adjusted

Also, they will damage your paintwork where they are attached, but this is probably true of any guard like this. Best try to use some clear patches where it makes contact.
