ok, not exactly for the normal STW type of bike but, i have a town bike that i want to fit a mudguard on. it's 26" tyres and is running fat franks that are 2.35" and i'm wanting to find a set that fit a nicely as these do:

those are on a Viva Kilo, and are probably custom made jobbies for that particular bike...
anyone?
Sks chromoplastics come in various sizes, and the largest for 26" wheel is rated up to 2.35" tyre -also they come in black or silver.
I have the smaller size on crap 26" commuter bike and they are just excellent. Most expensive sks guards iirc but only by a few quid, and the other ones top out at 2.1" so that's what you would have to go for i expect. Well worth it though imho. Top tips: is bodging your own brackets and using cut up plastic wine corks as spacers (borrowed this idea from singular cycles sam) to get mudguard as close to tyre as possible, also bending stays to fit round disc brakes etc if that is an issue. Dremel for trimming the stays down as the new built in end caps are well nifty and stay put but still allowing for 5mm or so adjustment. Oh and taking a 10mm spanner out with you to iron out the last little bits if rub and 'shape' of the guard particularly the rear one. Takes ages to get them fitting just right but once they are, they won't be going anywhere!
Sks chromoplastics +1
sks jobbies it is.. thanks fellas 😀
