Simple question. Rigid MTB with slicks for general goiing to the shops duties- which SKS guards- chromoplastic or "bluemels"?
Bluemels are a bit cheaper on CRC.
What's the difference between the 2, and how do you decide which width is needed?

I'd go sks for the long haul, quality is great.

Width...narrower size assuming you are on 1.3-1.5.
