Mudguards

I have a Charge Plug (road model), need some mudguards
as I'm getting spat at by puddles left, right and right up my back.


Anyone have some suggestions for an easy fitting, cool looking or near invisible to the eye mudguards ?

Thanks in advance,
Psychkle

If you have room, get some full fenders.

I don't have any particular recommendations though...

Near-invisible will in many cases mean near-useless. I think full fenders "look cool," but I also think the most practical bikes look cool specifically because they're practical.

Enough of my rant. Planet Bike Cascadia fenders offer super-awesome coverage and several colors if you're not ofended by mudflaps. Hammered aluminum fenders from Velo-Orange are gorgeous, though aluminum is arguably not the best choice if your bike is frequently locked to a rack, tossed about, etc. For super sleek, check out the Berthoud carbon fiber fenders from Peter White (prepare for some serious sticker shock).
