Cheers, it's the full 60mm GB I have, stays on the outside. Think I'll add the extra flap for overkill and functional amazeballs appearance.
Ummed and aahhed about fitting and in the end a £1.99 piece of aluminium tube and the durama and that came with made a perfect mount for suspension corrected forks.

There is, currently mudguard stop right at or just before the chainstay bridge, meaning water get sprayed toward chain and chainset, sometime feet.
The guide using the SKS long flap on that location mean the water get directed away from the chain/chainset.
This with the front and rear long mudflap combine should keep your drivetrain clean.
If you want cleaner, go for proper mudguard like the GB/Honjo, as the stay mounted on the outside instead of the inside, and the channel on both side allow water to drain off properly SKS doesn't have much of a channel).
