Full mudguards from "Komodo Sports", half the price of a typical set (£12.97). Must be a sports shop, only stock a minimal number of cycling products. Had anticipated that it could even be a "dodgy" outfit, but........
1. Online order process straightforward, delivery was exceptionally good; arrived within 48 Hr's, was kept informed via emails of delivery date / time, mudguards were well packed to an exceptional standard (Nb. Heavily packaged, within heavy duty, corrugated cardboard)
2. Plastic of the mudguards is heavy duty, they appear to be robust
3. But HUGE ISSUES with the mudguard, fittings. I reviewed fitting them to a range of bicycles, full steel touring frame, compact road frame, moderately compact road frame
4. But the struts are non-adjustable and manufactured to a set length, they were an easy 3" too long / too short for the fitting points on the variety of frame shapes above. And they only fit to the mudguard itself, via one, robust fitting, it'll last, but shakes/rattles on a ride
They're perfectly useable, is one if prepared to undertake major adjustments to the various parts and/or come up with makeshift arrangements to ensure they'll fit I.e. ad hoc double bolted, huge washers, bending of various parts, all secured via deposits of epoxy resin or some similar glue / resin type product. Unless short of cash, c/w loads of time & fitting skills, brand mudguards would be much better
Komodo Sports; mudguards (700 / full)
Please be fair and thoughtful in your opinions. No rants please.
