  • Need guards to make my Surly 1x1 into a winter friendly commuter. Tempted by the Bluemels at £16 from Spa, next best option would be Gilles Berthoud stainless steel ones I guess. GBs would be longer(?), stronger and prettier but then they're 60mm compared to the 65mm Bluemels and I want to go with 2.2" tyres I think plus more expensive plus would mean buying from the dreaded PracticalCycles...

    65mm Bluemels will fit over 2.2 Racekings?

    Is front coverage on Bluemels alright? Just factor in having to also fit a large flap?

  • I’m running 65mm Bluemels on 2.35 big apples, work a treat. Front coverage is fine so far - have only ended up with wet feet when going through extremely deep puddles and I wonder how much flaps would ameliorate that anyway (I’m planning to install flaps to find out)

    should do, I have 2.35 g one speeds under mine

  • I was thinking about getting a set of these for the Inbred but I hate mudguards especially when it'll make it look like...

    I'll probably only be able to fit the rear so if anyone is looking for a 65mm 26" front any time soon...

    I fit 650b 2.3 Big-One on a 700c 60mm GB mudguard, there is clearance trick is going for 700c which allow slightly more room between tyres and mudguard.
