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?
