Kinesis Fend off are aluminium. really solid, look slick in matt black and no rattling at all, but they're quite heavy ~700g

I wish a Chinese company could make a cheaper and matt version of the VeloDuo carbon mudguards that are more like ~350g but I haven't seen anything like that yet

im still undecided between d50cu-33  t800 or t1100 version, but im planning to put michelin powercup 28, as theyre wider than average 28's

I've been using 28mm PowerCups on 24mm internal rims and while the tyre casing is wide (meaning the tyre blows out to about 31.5mm) the tread width definitely isn't. I can see from the scuffing that I have been riding on the sidewall quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend those tyres for rims that wide, and probably only for 21-23mm internal width.

12spd RISK quick link only lasted me 800km before breaking mid-ride. The plates somehow got spread apart so it wouldn't stay shut. I bought a box of 11 speed and a box of 12 speed so just carry them for emergencies now.
