Mudguards

PDWs are brilliant, the best mudguards I've ever used. They also come with adaptors for skewers so you don't have to use p-clips

Won't work with 15mm thru axle though. So P clips. Plus saves fucking about with axle when get a puncture at night and it's raining!!

Thanks for rating them.

just drill out the adaptor then to 15mm, rather than the 6mm for skewers

Anyone run pdw with new campag brakes ?

I´ve managed to fit a pair of Chromoplastics on my daily commuter with no eyelets nor space under the rear bridge and fork. Bit of pain.

^ great work

He's got to buy a bike specific for race training and commuting yet, that will allow mudguards, Di2, unicorns, etc. and so on.

^^^I thought my bodge was good when I used a number 0 from my door as a plate, but that's something else!

Needs must!

I am impressed with how you managed, however I have one tiny question if you don't mind.

Why did you not use the eyelit on the drop out?

Good work... but you have eyelets on the rear no?

Well, that has an easy answer. I´m planning to fit a Tubus Fly rack (when I get the Ortliebs) and I´d rather have both things in separate eyelets so that it´s easier to fit or remove them whenever I need it.

Wouldn't fit on mine with Chorus skeletons... The rear came into contact with mudguard when the brake lever was squeezed. The front was even tighter (Easton ec90 fork).

Thanks , re think for me then

I've a silver Tubus Fly I'm going to sell if you're interested. PM me!

2nd in line!

Thanks, but I already got the rack. I just need the panniers.

The lightest I've found so far is the Carradice Super C front pannier, front one is much more ideas.

They're like under 700g each which is fairly decent compare to Ortlieb Front roller which I think is about 1700g for a pair.

Why using front panniers on a rear rack? Any advantages? My idea is buying the Ortlieb classics.

Smaller/lighter (limits the amount of useless junk you can take), probably more heel clearance too.

Thread-trawling, don't suppose you know off the top of your head whether PDW-45s are likely to fit on a Genesis Equilibrium with 28 tyres? I'm thinking they probably would...

It won't fit, get the 30mm one and run 25mm tyres.

/\ - I appreciate that tyre size is irrelevant here as the guards will be comfortably overlapping, I guess the question is more re frame and caliper clearances... cheers

Ah, that's a shame, been loving the larger tyres, don't really want to have to spring for new tyres and guards... hmmm, any other guard's you'd recommend to fit?

Problem is that you're stuck, 28mm have very little room for a mudguard in the first place, despite genesis' claim.
