Small splash guard for a gravel bike

Can anyone recommend a small splash guard for my gravel bike to stop me getting a wet bum. I don't really tend to ride in big groups so I don't need a big mud guard, something that is easily attached and removed to stop my bum getting wet when the roads are wet.

Does such a thing exist?

Win Wing, looks like it shouldn't work but does really well. Takes seconds to fit as well.

Heartily recommend a Win wing for that job.

It's an RRP Rearguard you need

Pretty sure @rOcKeTdOg has a discount code on his Instagram as well for the Win Wing

Doing some googling around after I posted. I see that condor cycles have got something that sounds the same but for £8.99 - Will that do or do I need the full £27 version?

Q

You want an Ass Savers Win Wing, which is different to a clip-on saddle thing, see:
> https://ass-savers.com/collections/win-wing < As posted above. I've got two of the things and they're brilliant, you can get them cheaper than the direct from Ass Savers price too. There are two versions btw, the wider gravel one and a narrower road variant.

A set of SKS speedrockers will give you full coverage and can be removed in a flash.

Halfords have a £3 version, works ok. I bought a pair halfway through a ride when the weather caught me out.

Also these for sub-£10 are surprisingly good, but going through actual puddles at speed you will get wet cheeks either side of it! If not the Win Wing is really annoyingly good (annoying as I now need to decide whether to buy another one or keep moving it across bikes!):

Thanks all - have ordered one from ass savers

Will see how it is as I am planning to do a 100km loop Monday early early and it's promised to be terrible weather

Another for a Win Wing, 78km in the mud last week, not a spot of mud on my back or bibs - well impressed

I  use sks X-Tra Dry on the road bike in the wet, works well.

The standard Ass-Saver is great IME, and hasn't managed to fly off my bike, like my cheap copy did before it. I have recently bought the - already mentioned - Win Wing and it is excellent, bought for about £15, well worth it.

SKS Beavertails (or XL version) are super quick to attach or remove.

And yet an other win wing vote. Protect your frame with some tape. Keeps your bottom clean but not the bike. I swap mine between bikes, it’s that good and that easy to remove.
