@Chalfie I've got spare stays, but they'll need posting.

I'll pm in a mo.

Like these?

Wouldn't work with fenders though.

Need to be a bit longer, the skinny mudflap posted earlier would be perfect for this.

Here we go, Flap Mk II. A neater job as I had a template to work to. M&S milk bottles also have some nice ribbing.

Might be too much flex between fender and wheel, but you won't know unless you try.

You guys have inspired me to do some midnight arts and crafts:

Probably not long enough, but I can extend it pretty easily.

Commuters strongly oppose mudguards, don't you know anything?

They only just slowly starting to accept those big fuck-off clip-on rear mudguard on their flashy plastic bike.

Not in my town.
Maybe we're disagreeing on the definition of the word.

Got a set of those RAW mudflaps in the post today, will report back. Look good though.

the thing that holds my rear PDW guard to the brake bridge just snapped : (
