"I bought these at a discount price just to see if they were effective.
They take some of the chill off but I suffer with cold feet so will need to invest in some warmer ones now it is December.
They keep your shoes clean and despite being white, they clean well in the washing machine."

The Rolls-Royce of mudguards; they are virtually unbreakable and very elegant. The stainless steel v-shaped stays make for easy fitting and quick release secu-clips are far safer than standard fixings.

"I just fitted these mudguards to my cyclocross/commuting bike and first impressions are very good. They are sturdy and rattle-free, unlike some other types.
They are good value but quite time-consuming to fit, requiring the struts to be sawn down with a hacksaw."
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Good Fit

"These are ideal for changeable spring conditions and save having to buy bib knickers. On a cold morning you can put these on and keep nice and toasty. When it warms up you can take 'em off and voila you are in your favourite shorts.
They are very comfortable and stay up no problems at all.
My only gripe is that there are seems that sit right at the back of your knees, these are flatlocked and don't cause too much irritation though.
Recommended, good value."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Good Fit

I'm confused as to the tubular bit. Do i still need a normal inner tube or is it a glue on job. It look like a clincher from the picture
It is a clincher tyre, it uses the same compound as tubulars, hence the name.
