If you can spring for a Fairlight you should justify good mudguards. PDW are easiest to fit and last well. Berthoud are cheaper and last well but fiddly to fit.
PDW fenders are a shocking cost when plausible alternatives from SKS are half the price. Suitable 56 mm-wide models (for 47-584 tyres) are SKS Edge AL, and SKS Bluemels Style. Trend seems to be towards alloy with single stays, but the plastics set with double stays is basically the same as SKS guards have been forever — that is, pretty reliable. Price diff is negligible. Anyone here have any thoughts which to go for?
