Axiom Rainrunner Deluxe Reflex Mudguards £40 The grey stripe down the centre of these guards is 3M Reflex, a hi-viz material that shows bright white in car headlights. They come with adapters so that you can fix them to bikes without eyelets or to bikes with disc brakes. The fittings are stainless steel, so won't get rusty. Front and rear guards have mud-flaps to stop, respectively, your feet and your companions from getting splashed. Available in three versions: road (700C x 18-28mm), trekking (700C x 28-45mm) and MTB (26 x 1.5-2.2in). www.paligap.cc

They're made from stiff polycarbonate and fit rattle-free with the stainless hardware – for which spares are readily available. There's no mudflap but you could pop-rivet one to the front easily enough.
