i have quick release mudguards for when i commute to work between april and sept. i only use them so i don't end up with a muddy stripe up my back when at work. if i go for a day out on the bike i usually leave them at home as they are hardly worth using. you'll be covered in crap if you are doing it right so there isn't much point in keeping your back clean.

as for lights. they are a necessity if you are riding in low light. i dont currently have any so i only go out for a few hours around midday.

Those DX's aren't available looking like that as they're quite old.

They're now called AM40's.
