Mudguards

@amey Might need a bit of fettling but I reckon they'll work, worst case is go back down to 23mm tyres... you can try my PDW if you want?

Could you have a look, I know you are an expert :P I'll ride down to yours

@amey I have a pair I'm looking to sell. Hardly been used. Let me know if you fancy them

Game changer .. will call and confirm
Edit: they do have them

^^oof! great price!

Purchased! £39 with FB like and free delivery

Thanks for the tip.

Anyone have these with 27-28mm tyres? Tyres will be either schwalbe one tubeless or open paves, still undecided.

i have the skinnier version of them with 30c Strada Biancas. Wouldn't want to run any larger tyres but it all works fine

^Wide rims? After some gentle persuasion I managed to fit 25mm Pave on 23mm wide rims under the 30mm PDWs...

no, on open pros, so maybe wide rims might cause some width issues

Mines are 25mm-ish Stan's Grails so maybe too wide :(

.

So this happened:

Should I replace with another chromoplastic or is there something better / nicer out there?

Sorry I'm not answering the question, as I only have experience of Chromoplastics, but how did that happen?

Collision. Kinda broadsided / rear ended. The rim was in bad shape too, but seems to have trued out ok.

Get a CAAD12.

is there something better / nicer out there?

PDW Full Metal Fender that actually stop your feet from getting wet.

Never actually felt that the chromos weren't doing their job to be honest. Need flaps though.

Going to order some PDW anyway for a road biek - will see what they are like.

I hope you came out better.

Hah, yeah, well at least none of me needs to go in the bin!

Quality road rash / bruising though. And no MTBing shiz for me this weekend. Bah.

should i upgrade to PDW's over chromoplastics? does the front one do a better job of keeping feet dry?

they are on special on the site that should not be mentioned right now

Depends. Do you have the money? Are they a good price? Etc etc

Since I put the SKS extra long flap on my front guard me feet have remained much, much drier. The only issue is my guard now catches on the door sill as I wheel the bike out.
