Hello and welcome. You have done well to fit 28mm tyres to a Triban 3 as 25mm tyres only just clear my Triban 3.
For mudguards I would suggest RaceBlade Pro XL.

Of course they will fit or I would not have mentioned them. The manufacturer says suitable for 700c in widths of 25-32 mm.

Sorry to disagree but I think you will struggle to fit mudguards with 28mm tyres, especially under the fork. My T3 has Crud Mk2 mudguards and 23mm tyres. The front tyre frequently rubs against the blade if it picks up small bits of grit and I fact the original wore though for this reason. The Crud Mk 2 is no longer in production but they do supply spare parts. I would prefer to use 25mm tyres but there is no way they would fit without removing the mudguards. As Roy said, you did well to fit 28mm tyres to your T3 but I cannot see you being able to get anything between the tyre and fork. What wheels are you using? Wider rims would lower the profile of the tyre and might help.

RaceBlades do not extend under the fork or rear brake. Shame on you phred1812.

I am not sure that the rear blade is going to be so effective though as it doesn't cover the wheel after the brake mounting so a certain amount of water and muck is going to be thrown onto the front derailleur chain and crankset. At least it prevents the guys drafting behind getting a soaking but I wouldn't know about that problem
