35mm SKS mudguard over a 42mm Marathon Supreme tyre - how much spray is gonna still fly out the back of the bike? Most comes from the centre of the tyre right so it should prevent most spray or am I dreaming?
If it does turn out to be sub-optimal I might put the 42mm on the front wheel and put the 35mm on the back. #alwaysuphill

It'll struggle quite a bit I suspect. The majority comes from the centre, but there's still an unpleasant amount coming from the side and general misty spray. Also, will be easily overwhelmed if you go through a puddle.
I might have a 45 you can have though, lemme check the shed.

Oh well, I stuck it on there. It's better than nothing. I don't have a shower here so if it's raining heavy nowadays I just WFH or get the Tube.
