Fresh Goods Sunday - Topeak Defender RX rear mudguard

I was after another rear mudguard as I only had a Crud Mud spare, problem with them is you have to keep taking the seat post in and out of the frame every time to want to fit/remove it.
I didn't want to spend too much but wanted something of a reasonable build / design quality and wanted it quick.
I do like Topeak products but have never had any of their mudguards before. This is an old but still current model and is heavily discounted on the internet. The newer models have more updated clamps / design.
Now Topeak have classified this guard as a 26" model but I was fitting it to the Beast of the East 27.5+ bike! Topeak do a 27.5 model but no one had any stock locally at the time.
I offered it up to the bike and did not look to short / wrong radius etc so decided it open it up and start fitting. The clamp is not the easiest to adjust / use but when its fitted it gets a good hold and as of yet has not moved around during rides. There is also an extension piece that you can screw onto the rear with four very small screws. You can also alter the angle of the last section closest to the rear bridge area.
The first test for the guard was after more than 48hrs of solid rain in Co Durham and probably some of the muddiest conditions I have ridden a bike. The outcome was very good with only a few spray marks on my back. Best thing is I only paid £5.20!
