Ass Savers

Swedish, well named, and the answer for a bike with no mudguard mounts. The Win Wing clips to the saddle and seatpost, deals with the stripe up your back, and comes off in seconds when the sun returns.

They are not a substitute for full-length guards on a winter bike. What they are is the guard you will actually fit to a summer bike in April, which makes them more useful than the proper ones you never get round to.

Road and gravel versions differ in coverage to suit the tyre width. Check which suits your bike, and note that these cover you rather than the person on your wheel, so a club run still wants full guards.
