Yeah, my comment was meant as a reply to @Sealclub , to say that in my experience Berthouds can be tweaked the same way as the other metal mudguards. They do indeed make a 60mm 650b size that is a good fit with about 48 mm tyres, though depending on how close to the tyre you install them you may want to adjust the radius slightly, as with any mudguard.

Oh I don't disagree! All I meant was that my notions of mudguard costs are based on years of fitting SKS, which have always done sterling service. Mudguards are a requirement with my crew for winter rides! As for the RedShift stem, I was perfectly serious about fitting one, as costly as it is.
@Samuli I do want to fit mudguards that are designed for 650b wheels, guards with a non-conforming radius look horrible to my eyes.
