If it's the Swan Zefal mudguard then no, the bracket opens up by turning a plastic nut, fit it around your seatpost and then tighten.

Answer:
If it's the same as the rear mudguard in the Swan Zefal/Cruzer Road mudguard set then there's no need to remove the seatpost. It's really quick and simple to fit, no tools required. I use it as a temporary mudguard and only put it on if it's raining.

I commute 60+ miles a week on minor roads in the Lake District (lucky beggar, I know). The roads are pothole-ridden, rough and bumpy. Will this thing flap around, fall off or break (like my SKS one)?

I commute about the same distance on a Dahon and can confirm its a rugged guard that doesn't mind being bashed around and if it does occasionally go floppy the tightening bold is finger friendly so no need to carry tools

I've been impressed so far. I site it about 1" above the wheel and I've not noticed it hit the wheel but even when 6" above the wheel, it keeps my backside dry.

Answer:
I've had this for 2 months now and commute approx 100miles per week over some rough roads. Its lightweight and will not shake itself to bits as i too had that problem with SKS Chromo's. You just have to ensure the seatpost bracket & angle adjustments remain tight as they may losen over time.

Answer:
I reckon it'll be fine.
I commute 40+ miles a week in London (where the roads are far more full of pot holes than you would expect) and I've had this for around 3 months and it's totally fine. My bike also gets regularly stuffed into the car so the mudguard gets bent/squished a bit. The plastic doesn't seem at all brittle.
It does flex a little bit, but so long as you give it a couple of inches of clearance above the wheel it should be fine.

Answer:
No idea how old this question is, but here goes. I've had the Swan for a couple of weeks now and ridden 20-30 miles with it. I think it's brilliant with a really sturdy clamp and angle adjuster. The actual guard is quite flexible, so does wobble up and down, but I've never heard it hit the tyre and I've got it only a few inches above. It certainly doesn't wobble left to right at all and seems like it'll last a long time. I was so pleased I bought the RM60 for my mountain bike. I can therefore also tell you that this is wider and made from a thicker plastic and is constructed so it has no flex at all. But it is also more mountain bike esque in it's looks. Hope this all helps.

Answer:
Hmm, well it does flap. For example when I jump off kerbs it does hit the wheel. But it's not a problem for me as compared to the last mudguards I had (ones you clip to the frame and covers the whole wheel) this one barely moves and doesn't make a sound. I think it would be great for you but only buy it if you have 1.5" wheels. Fot big knobbly tyres you would want a mountain bike tyre width one.

Answer:
I've had one for a few months now. Fortunately the weather is finally good enough not to need it.
But it has been a superb purchase. Easy to put on and off, very stable on the bike with no chance of falling off, and stops so much muck it's amazing.

Answer:
If you continuously hit potholes the mudguard may break as it will weaken over time. The mudguard is fairly secure in use but they are secured only on one side.

Answer:
After finding the Crud Roadracer 2 Mudguards I already had did not fit on the front of my new bike I purchased the Zefal Croozer Road Front Mudguard and am suitably impressed. Be Careful though, should your bike front tube be non-standard then you may experience problems with the straps being too short, I did, but my tube is aerodynamically shaped. Zefal helped out by sending me, F.O.C., longer rubber straps, so make sure it would fit before you buy

I have an old racing bike for commuting with no eyelets for fitting proper mudguards so like th idea of this but I have an ISM Sport saddle so seat stem quite low and worried I might not fit this and my my Cateye TL-LD1100 LED Rear Light above it.
Looks like I can't fit quite at bottom of seatpost. If I fit as low as possible, approx how many mm from bottom of seatpost would the top edge be?
If both won't fit, any ideas where else I could put my light on bike? If both will, is mudguard likely to obscure light from behind?
