My girlfriend is loving her new E Subway....need some mudguards though as even on road her tyres kick up a serious amount of crap! Its 650b wheels, has good clearance and mounting points. Something by sks? Not sure if the wheel size impacts which guards to buy?

Not a clue but I guess they should be a foot long.

For something easily removeable, Beavertail XLs would work.

Yeah I'd seen the Beavertails...is there a more road style version of them? They look like a pretty good option though.

SKS Beavertails or Zefal classic/trail. Have had both on old rigids and very similar performance, so whatever is cheapest and available.

I have a Subway as a commuter. I bought it second hand and it has Beavertail already fitted. The rear guard has been sawn off before the seat tube clip (suggesting fitting issues) It does a pretty good job but the rear does not extend around the wheel enough to keep all water and mud off your back.

SKS Beavertail XLs.

They flap about a bit depending, but unless you want full on town style mudguards, they are a good shout.

You might need to mod them with a hacksaw, depending on the bike frame, but they are pretty good for universal mud guards.
