Got my new eBike - need to fit mudguards and rack.

I had a look; mine are 700c but 65mm wide.
I had to form mine, just a little where they go through the fork crown. If you get narrower than 65mm they will probably go straight in

.....Ali guards are awful rattly things, although I have never used that make.

Often, Al guards are awful rattly things without the benefit of sufficient stays.

Now on the Spa site and I'm wibbling between the different SKS mudguards.

These seem very similar to the ones on my Wayfarer, and have the extra spray catchers at the bottom.

EDIT - Just taking a step back, what size tyres do you have, I'm not sure the guards you link to are the right size?

Mudguards can be a bit of a minefield, SKS/Bluemels change the naming and branding frequently, no full guards have been branded SKS for a long time. Then it always takes Spa a few years to catch up, sometimes because they have lots of older stock, though sometimes what you get isn't the version you thought you ordered.
I'd get the plastic ones in the link, they're no longer Chromoplastic (As spa's description says) the newer plastic is much more pliable, which is good in some ways though it makes them harder to permanently re-form.
I've had some of the aluminium ones, even fitted perfectly they're noisy, on tracks every lose stone rattles it's way around. I also caught a twig at the front, the release did work but not till after it had put a crease in the guard that was impossible to fully remove.
I wouldn't let the existence of mudflaps sway me, they're easy to add later and those that come fitted can usually be improved upon.

700 x 38C tyres

I've ordered the 700C 45mm

Hopefully they will fit OK.

I seem to be failing to post now and then.

They may fit, but they'd be too narrow for my taste. I have some of these 53mm Bluemels over 40mm tyres and I'd rather have a few more mm.
