@crossedthread Guards are SKS Chromoplastics in 65mm. Got mine locally but they're currently only £15 at Planet X.
@hvsds Seems like it but haven't gone on a proper test ride yet. If it feels too relaxed then I might flip them back again.
@jj72 No, it's a VeloSolo 6-bolt disc cog on an ordinary mountain bike hub (the other side is a freehub with nothing on it).
@Slappingpythagoras I actually like the aesthetic now. Feel like the silver matches the cranks, handlebar etc. I am a mudguard evangelist; just thought it looked weird before with the knobby black tyres.

Super cool. I've run a similar setup on an old MTB frame and it makes for lovely riding.
It sounds like you don't like the mudguard aesthetic so maybe you could spray em black to hide them better? That way they kinda blur into the tyres
