Ok, well, I like the SKS P35 fenders for tires up to about 25mm, and so far the Zefal 45 mm round-section fender for 32 mm tires. I use a Berthoud mudflap on the front, to protect the drivetrain. General rules (just my opinion, really) for width and clearance are for the fender to be 8 to 12 mm at least wider than the tire, and 10 to 15 mm internal spaced from the tire.

What type of mounting brackets hold up best and warm and cold weather effects. What type work best with certain brakes and racks. Also what type goes good with lights.
