On Monday I bought some mudguards from Wiggle. They arrived on Wednesday and I installed them on Thursday. Today (Saturday) I removed them.I see the point in mudguards - especially after last week's wet rides - but a stylish bike they rarely make. The gloss black of the Crud mud guards jarred against the matt black carbon finish of my Boardman. They turned a sleek racing machine into a pedestrian pootler. I'd given my bicycle the equivalent of braces and milk-bottle glasses, making him the butt of playground jokes.
The weather is dry today, as it has been for a few days. Mud guards won't help. They're being mothballed until they're really necessary.
