    I have a cheap Ribble Winter frame with mudguards and find that the top of the tyre rubs the mudguard under the rear brake bridge, meaning I have to lower the tyre pressure (GP4000ii 23mm) to accommodate this. I have positioned the attachment at it's highest setting.

    Seeing as the Open Pro brake track is nearly finished am I right in thinking that if I replace it with a wider rim, and keeping the same 23mm tyre, that this should fix the problem?

    OR

    Is there something else I can use instead of the SKS bridge to allow me to raise the mudguard a few more millimetres?

    Get creative with cable ties and a drill. A couple (or four maybe) holes in the guard under the brake bridge/caliper mount should allow you to pull the guard right up under the caliper.

    i have a spare one of these that you can have for free if you want to experiment with a drill.

    Use the brake bridge to support the fender. Make or find a little L-bracket, bolt one side to the fender (you may have to dremel the protruding bit underneath) and hang the other off the brake bolt.
