I've wrecked 2 pairs of road racers due to toe overlap (and couldn't fit the rear on my Canyon with 25s), so decided to try some raceblade longs. They were a tiny bit more hassle to fit the clips - but should be a lot easier to remove compared to the zipties for raceblades. They feel so much more sturdy, and just generally better quality. Would recommend.
Also, if you have the road racer, you can use the front third of the rear guard to get full FD coverage, like this:

I should have gotten your advise first before investing in some roadracers.
As I have the same problem with my canyon. I have no trouble yet with my 25mm tyres, but it is very tight. But I couldn't fit the last bit that wraps around the seat tube due to the design of the frame's BB design.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear.
When I saw the SKS didn't have anything around the front mech area I was planning to bodge my Cruds somehow anyway. That seems alot simpler than what I had in mind!

I did think about p-clips. It's the seemingly simple removal/refit of the blade part of the Raceblades I like, but these things often work a lot better in theory than reality.
Also sadly the PDWs are rather rich for my tastes.
