Since moving to Melbourne, with it's unpredictable skies and generally mucky streets, cycling without mudguards has become an unviable mode of transport. Despite the resulting wet ass situation, it's not nice for the bike, and sends a clear message that, "hey, I don't love my bike!" Like Agro Vation used to say, "keep it clean, team!"

So I went on the lookout for some mud guards for my Dahon Hammerhead 7.0. There is not a lot of choice for a 20" wheel size, and the SKS Dahon special mudguards (although very good) don't visually fit the slim lines of the Hammerhead. When researching our Dahon Cargo Bike options, I came across Sykes Wooden Bicycle Fenders, claiming to be strong, lightweight, flexible and darn good lookin'! Just the ticket. Finishing my fit-out with a new rear Kinetix Pro wheel, I think the results speak for themselves. You be the judge.
