thought i'd share my mudguard solutions. I got some shiny (stainless steel apparently) 27" full mudguards at MCR velojumble, but the bits for attaching to the seatstay eyelets had been cut off (rusted/fused to original bike maybe?). So i replaced the wire/spoke things with bent coat hangers. It was rattly as to start with, but once I used a section of old inner tube to hold the front of the rear mudguard to the chainstay bridge thing and a week of grime to bed it in, its whisper quiet now! Here are some shitty photos which probably explain nothing...
