I currently have raceblades (the short version) but I don't like them, and would like something a bit more substantial.
Reading back a few pages it seems like the favoured choices are either the raceblade longs or PDW. Frankly PDWs look a bit better but I'm baulking slightly at the price. Are they really that much better than the raceblade longs? What are the main pros and cons of the two options when you compare them side by side.
I'm currently running 25mm tyres (measure up at 26mm wide) and have rear mudguard eyelets at the back but none at the front. My main worry is clearance under the brake bridge (which is ~3mm, and similar in the front), but also I'd like something with decent coverage for winter training and group rides. Also, something that is relatively sturdy and easy to fit and set up would be a bonus... I still can't get the chromoplastics on my fixed to stop rubbing.
