I just picked up my first set of full mudguards at lunch
2 hours of swearing and much skinless knuckles and if anything they are further away from being installed on my bike than they were when i started!
Seems like the person who designed the CAAD 8 was forced under duress to put mounts somewhere on the frame for mudguards and out of protest put them in the most awkward places and made all the holes the wrong size!
EDIT
Turns out it wasnt the person who designed the CAAD 8 but the previous owner who had crashed the bike and sold it to me without mentioning the frame was bent at the back!
