• Partly because so few road bikes are built to accept mudguards?

    I was extremely annoyed to find that I couldn't get crud catchers over 25c tyres on my Lynskey. So I've gone through a whole winter annoying not only myself but other riders as well.

    Now I'm in a dilemma as to whether to try again with 23c tyres or go for n+1 solution, and get a quick winter bike. Or try to keep up with the Sunday pack on a Cross Check.... It's hard enough as it is.

  • Or get long drop brakes and 650b wheels, then you can fit mudguard and still be lighter than your original set-up, like this Trek road bike converted to 650b, room for 38mm and mudguard.
