Hmm, mate has one of these tempted to give it a go as my ageing crud guards are getting a bit rickety, plus you don’t have to mess around with a mudhugger when dropping the saddle (I use a qr on my CG)
Think you are right in your review about a crud catcher protecting your jersey tonyG, thing is, do you care much? If it’s wet you’ll have waterproof/resistant jacket on anyway, aslong as I’m protecting my eyes/face from splash using a fender bender or similar and maybe a neoprene/innertube mudflap aswell I’m happy, don’t mind a bit of mud up my front. Got a couple of crud catchers at home not bothered fitting them for years, mind you with the monsoon we appear to be having I might be tempted.
Fender all year round, rear guard when it’s wet, full guards for commuting.
