If I were to attempt to buy mudguards for a bike that does not belong to me, how would I know what size mudguards to buy?
(I have access to said bike, so I could measure things. But I can't take it anywhere without the owner knowing.)

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.

The main things would be the size of the tires, clearance available, the space between the tires and the frame, to fit the mudguards and the type of bike it is i.e. road bike, mountain bike, full sus etc.
If you can get the tyre size and then an estimate of the clearance between the tire and the frame, and also supply what fittings are available on the frame (i.e. are there eyelets at the dropouts / front fork and bolt holes through the fork crown and the rear brake bridge) it can probably be worked out.
