The only type I've used in the past are the Crud road ones that attach with elastic p-clip things, on a bike without eyelets. They're fairly easy to mount, but on the flimsy side.</p> <p>I'm looking for full mudguards, first of all for an MTB for utility riding, with 26*2.1 tyres and dropout eyelets, as well as brake holes and chain-stay bridge (though still hoping to find a brake booster to bridge the long clearance on a 100mm rigid fork). Leaning towards SKS chromoplasts, as they seem straightforward and functional.<br /> The other mudguard aim is for an <u>old</u> Super Galaxy that just fits its 38mm tyres, for longer rides. Here, I'm torn between glowing reports of aluminium 'guards (which might make the bike look prettier and more theft-prone than it should be, really) and the down-to-earth rationale of SKS. I think for both 'guards, being quiet and durable is more important than lightweight.<br /> Any recommendations about these, or if someone has a suitable set to sell, would be appreciated. Thanks! </p>
