Whats the accepted mudguard width vs tyre width?
Guard width = tyre width + 10 mm (minimal). Jan Heine even recommends 40% wider than your tires.
Too narrow guards will cause side spray, and to keep your feet dry you need enough coverage (especially at the front of course) and a PROPER mudflap.

Whats the accepted mudguard width vs tyre width? The Arkose I acquired has SKS longboards and 35mm Marathon Supremes. I can almost see the tyre looking down on top so I'm sure these guards are too narrow. I guess my question is better put as: will I get a significant benefit from the correct guard width in terms of coverage/less horribly wet feet?
