starting a new job next week and will be riding to work so have had to put mudguards on, the fronts ok, but the back is a cheapo mtb thing like a crudcatcher
put some plastic strips (made from the same stuff as estate agent signs) to close the rear wheel in.
After a test in that massive puddle in north harrow I found that most of the water actually ends up coming down on the seatpost near the bottom bracket, the brake area remained dry, so feet and lower legs dry but arse or rather bag on arse saturated see pic
am going to add some panels to stop it going onto the chain and chainstays tomorrow and maybe a large square will let you know
Actually I loathe any mudguards at all but was amazed how much crap actually hit the BB and the arse area!
