Your mudguard isn’t really guarding. Needs to be as close to the wheel as possible, but it’s still missing a lot of coverage

Search for SKS Raceblade. I have one and it’s very easy to put it on and off.

Yeah no matter what that looks like it’s pretty much useless for your intended purpose anyway. You’re still gonna get covered in water and mud.
You need a set of full size mudguards/fenders that cover the rear facing third of the front wheel, and the uppermost half of the rear wheel if you want any kind of decent protection from water and debris. Sure they don’t look great, but they look a lot better than what you have here, and will be 1000 times more effective.

There are only 2 solutions
1. You buy proper mudguards for a road race bike online, they exist and fit your bike.
2. Get a bike that you would like to ride in the rain, is safer and better for commuting with mudguards on.
3. What you did, enjoy the water in your mouth from the front wheel 🙂

that mudguard is basically just vibing up there lol. your frame def has the eyelets for proper fenders so you could go that route if you want real protection. if you wanna keep it minimal though, something like the SKS Raceblade that someone mentioned is a solid middle ground, clips on and off super easy and actually sits close enough to do its job. the zip tie approach could work too but you’d probably need to drop it way lower to make any difference. up to you if the look trade-off is worth staying dry though.
