It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

A Ragley Trig like this -

But with mudguards.

What mud guards do you use and how do you like them?

I have these Whyte mudguards

I am in 2 minds about them, I primarily got them because I thought they would look good as well as being large enough to cover my 47 tyres, and they do look decent. I have also cycle commuted for 10 years or more and never had guards and bow I think I am stupid for not doing so sooner because of how much more comfortable and dry I am with them.

However these guards in particular are quite flexible in their construction and so when I hop over potholes and the like the landing will cause flex and for them to rub slightly. This is a minor niggle but I hate sounds coming from the bike of any kind that aren't expected.

If I were to buy again I'd probably try a different set but also a lot of the options are too narrow for my application so I don't have a lot of choice. I may try a different set for next winter.

I've got some plastic SKS fenders on my commuter. They're pretty big, but they do the job!
