SKS Bluemels Mudguard Set Primus Single U-Stay

Product Information

This, combined with the minimally fussy fitting, makes the SKS Raceblade Pro XL Stealth Series better than any of its clip-on competitors - which generally either don’t fit as well or don’t offer as good protection. Value-wise they are a bit more expensive than the competition, but they are also readily available for less online.

The silver plastic mudguards have two full-length parallel clear slots within them, which can help to show how dirty the underside is, and they also have good-sized flaps at the rear of each one. terms of appearance. The ESC safety system uncouples the stays should branches become trapped between the spokes, so The stays are finished with a plastic cap, but can be cut short to avoid toe overlap, then the cap replaced. Furthermore, mudguards are strong and inflexible. The fenders are built in a sandwich style with superfine aluminum strips in plastic sheathing. The front guard extends low enough that it all but eliminates the spray from your front wheels on to your toes. Even the best cycling overshoes will eventually give way to a content stream of water after a couple of hours so why not just stop the spray? Your toes and shoes will thank you for not leaving them entrenched in cold water for hours at a time.A brilliant performance! The SKS BLUEMELS BASIC mudguard set can not only be perfectly integrated onto the bike but SKS’s Bluemels Basic fenders / mudguards do a reasonably good job of keeping you dry. Their coverage isn’t as long as some - and our tester did find that you get spray over your feet from the front wheel and anyone following behind will still get a coating. The SKS Bluemels mudguard set is great for commuters and road cyclists needing protection from dirt and spray. With key parts made from stainless steel the SKS Bluemels are very durable for daily use.

I know these conditions would put a lot of people off riding when you could jump on the turbo trainer, but if like me you’re an all-season commuter, then this is what you need.

The 35mm pair I tested come with two SKS fixed steel bridges on each mudguard, which align with the V-shaped 3.4mm-diameter stainless steel stays. In use, what do you want a mudguard to do other than keep you dry? That’s it probably, but there are a couple more positives from a set of decent mudguards. A mudguard of this length will also keep those behind you dry as it extends low enough at the rear to stop the spray from your rear tyre going up onto the following rider. The coverage offered by the rear guard will also offer a lot of protection to your drivetrain from the mud and salt on the road, in turn offering easier cleaning and less wear. This plastic clip retains the one-piece V-shaped stay during normal usage, but should a foreign object get caught between the tyre and mudguard, it enables the stay to break away from the fork, hopefully avoiding an accident.
