We’ve reported on these ‘guards before, but we also shot a bit of vid at Eurobike just to show how easy it is to take them off. Guinea pig VecchioJo had never even seen them before, but he managed to whip off the rear mudguard in just a few seconds; all that’s left is some small metal tabs on the dropouts and the brake bolts.
They look much sturdier (and they’re also longer) than other removeable ‘guards, and a pair is even now winging its way to road.cc towers to be put through its paces. Obviously mudguard-hating Jo won’t be getting them, but there’s pleny of willing testers queuing up to try them out round here. When we know how they work in real world conditions, so will you!

Mudguards that you take
Mudguards that you take off?
I don’t get it.

Easy for me and plenty of other fanatics to be smug but I have a ‘winter’ bike with mudguards that I ride to work and ride for weekends in the rain, slush and mud for longer rides. And a lovely ‘best’ bike that i would hope never to sully with mudguards. However, there is a growing and welcome number of people who have bought a road bike and who hope to keep riding year-round who can also see the sense in fitting mudguards just when they’re needed. Hopefully, in time all these new road cyclists will see the sense in having a second (or third, or fourth) bike but in the meantime the Mr Crud ‘pop-on’ guards and now these even easier ones will hopefully do the business.
