Full coverage, easily removable, and not a flappy rattly mess.
Like the SKS Raceblade Long2 but wider.
cascadia 29er mudguards
or are you after something for a bike without fittings?
It's for the hybrid so it has full fittings. I jsut want to be able to remove them, so I can stick it in the car or a bag if necessary.
Cascadia aren't removable.
SKS Beavertail XLs?
TimP took away my set along with my old Tricross Singlecross last night.
MSP - where can you buy the cascadia?
It's not too much of a faff taking off full guards is it?
My SKS chromoplastics are 4 bolts and i just zip tie the rest on.
3 hex bolts at the front and 3 hex bolts are the rear too much to have proper fitted non rattling non fragile mudguards ?

I bought them on ebay, from the US, it didn't come to that much and they were better than the other options available at the time.

Not even 3 hex bolts at the front only 1 if you use the quick release clips, in fact thinking about it could you not fit these on the back as well.
NB: I make it 4 hex bolts at the back, one either side of the dropout, seatstay and chainstay.

Yes it is, when you just want to sling it in a car and people are waiting for you to faff about. The SKS ones are very secure and non-rattly* but they also slide off without tools. Removable doesn't have to mean rattly and fragile.
* commuting in London, at every traffic light I check out everyone's mudgards to see which aren't wobbly...
"Removable doesn't have to mean rattly and fragile."
Ive yet to see bonefide evidence of this.
Once you've set them up for your bike it takes <5mins to bung em back on or take em off with a single hex key and 8mm spanner. Get some proper ones.
Five minutes, yes, I know. I'm asking for ones that take 10s.
They don't appear to exist though.
