Last night on my journey through Victoria Park I heard the familiar 'ping' of some tree debris in my rear wheel, followed by an unfamiliar cracking sound.
Thankfully it was 'just' the mudguard. I think a twig had found itself sideways in the spokes and, when meeting the mudguard struts, had the effect of ripping the metal brace through the plastic shell.
It's cracked, but is just about passable for now and is retaining its shape for the most part. I'm going to get some reinforced tape on there shortly, but want to get a replacement.
It's a 45mm SKS Chromoplastic in black. I've posted in the wanted classifieds, but posting here on the off chance that anyone has one lying around, or knows where I can get one. All the mountings and hardware are going to be reused - it's literally just the mudguard shell.
