Recumbent trike mudguards

[belgiangoth]

I was wondering whether there was a middle ground between "no mudguards" and pending £150-200 on them? I am specifically asking for a Catrike with 18" wheels.

Build your own?

Are there instructionables about this somewhere? I was thinking that possibly some sort of bracket and a small bit of plastic btwn my hands and the tyre would do.

It depends what you want them to do...

Where is the spray annoying you?

I don't ride the cheetah in wet weather because I don't like getting mouthfuls of road soup, and my glasses get spattered, the ICE is equipped with full guards - but in really wet conditions I used to get some spray hitting my hips.
The little KMX in the garage has really small guards by the hands.

Basically you need to figure out a fairly robust bracket to attach somewhere that turns with the wheels.

I remember some time ago, someone recommended a sheet of rigid plastic, positioned from cruciform to beyond the underside of the seat. Defeats the hip spray.
