SKS Chromoplastic Full Length Mudguards

Good quality - stainless steel fitments. Had to make two brackets to fit Suntour suspension legs. (They can be bought but they should be included with the mudguards). As the stays have to attach half way up the leg they were right on the design limit where they fit onto the mudguard bracket. Look quality when fitted but they did take longer than any others I have fitted

Firstly, mine - SKS Chromoplastic Full Length Mudguards P45 700 x 45mm Silver - came with a different reflector from that in the pics; longer, slimmer and flusher with the guard and more 'modern' looking if that matters to you. I chose 45mm guards as it looked as though anything wider wouldn't fit at the front, I now think they would have but 45mm covers the 38 Marathon rear tyre well enough, just - the tyre's actually 40mm wide, and is fine for the 35 at the front. I think the next size up would look clunky over the 35 tyre. I stayed dry riding through a shallow ford, so they clearly work! I had to cobble together the fittings as the lugs on my bike weren't threaded but it wasn't too much trouble - an easier job than expected even though I started off fitting the stays wrongly and the instructions are not the best. It's actually a rather clever system once you've worked it out. As I used the pre-assembled sprung clip at the front of the rear guard there was no need at all to take the wheel off and it was easier to line the guard up with the wheel in place all the time. They are actually more rigid that I'd really expected and don't rattle at all or wobble to any degree and look good on my silver bike. The only downside is the alarming ripping canvas sound if the wheel takes a stone round and it rattles between tyre and guard - perhaps I fitted the guard too close to the tyre, but it looks good without a visible gap. Anyway, I'm happy with them and it's good to avoid the mud stripe up my back, especially if I'm stopping on the ride. Keeps the saddle bag clean too. I wouldn't go back to being without them.

will fit Ridgeback Expedition 2017 with disc break ????

I went with these on good faith because people said they were the best, but as an engineer, it saddens me to see such an awful product assembly method. The torque necessary to apply to the screws to get the mudguard to not just slide off is sufficient to bend the stays and brackets, making it extremely difficult to get right. It is scarcely believable that this wasn’t picked up at the design stage. Merely including some rubber washers would probably do the job. After much fighting I finally got them in place and secure, but I’m not happy with the bent stays and will likely replace them in the future. I also had to source screws elsewhere because the heads were so big they interfered with the spokes at the front, and the long screw to go through the fork was too short. In short, avoid!

A bit confused by how many very good reviews there are as I just can't see how these are long enough. The rear is ridiculously short on my set (700 size, fixing to a 2016 Speccy Diverge); they end about a third of the way down the rear wheel, leaving the reflector pointing upwards at almost 45 degrees. Very tricky to fit too (still haven't worked out how to mod the front to fit the Diverge). As a plus they are good quality, but that's not much use if they're too short and you can't get them to fit. Tredz delivery was excellent. I'd recommending thoroughly checking whether they will fit first, ideally finding the same bike people have successfully fitted them to. In hindsight I'd have gone into the shop and not used mail order.

Great service and price and the staff are very helpful

Good mudguards but no mention that they don't fit on disc brake bikes (Cube Attain) . Disappointed . Will be returning

Had SKS on my bike before old pair got damaged after fall, so just replaced like for like. They are easy to fit, and would recommend.

Have SKS on my older bike. Still intact (except for front flap) even after being knocked off the other week (wheel buckled - mudguard ok). Received in good fettle. Easy to fit -had to cut stays to length to get black protective clips on and to leave clearance for rear rack

I would not recommend these mudguards to anyone. At the first step of fitting these mudguards we knew we had made a mistake. The instructions were embarrassingly terrible. Awkward and uninformative pictogram images (not a single photo) and vague references to components led to immediate frustration. What is quite an involved fitting process is summed up in a small paragraph on a page the size of a coaster. We purchased these to fit on a set of 700x25c wheels, as the website said they would fit onto, but found that the struts to bolt on to the bike to support the mudguards were too long. Happily the instructions had us covered: 'adjust for length with hacksaw.' The supplied components for securing the struts onto the bike frame proved inadequate. They were tightened on as 'instructed', half a day of cycling on the road had them pinging off and leaving the front mudguard to swing free, tripping under the front wheel and risking serious injury to the cyclist. On the plus side, the packaging was good and suitable and Tredz delivered them promptly.
