  • I didn’t even realise they existed in a 60mm version. 53 had been the widest I’d found so far.

    Do wonder if it’s a typo but at that price it’s probably worth s punt.

    Ta.

  • I have some in both 60mm and 65mm. I think the newest addition is 700x60 and 700x65.
    I bought my first set of 26x60 more than three years ago.

  • I run the 700x65 on my 29er. I like them though they're relatively short (need flaps) and do sometimes bump around.

    60mm 20 inchers sound GREAT though (and look very affordable) for the future minivelo build. Though apparently the VO minivelo can fit Clearance for 2.3" tires WITH fenders, implying I would need 20inch 65mm ones.

    Definitely going to be cheaper than the VO metal 20 inchers though.

  • I know they do 60/65mm guards, I have the 26" version, just hadn't seen the 20" ones for sale in that size anywhere.

    Might be worth mentioning though that I'm really not a fan of the 26" x 65mm ones. I think the weight of that big a guard is too much for the wee skinny steel stays so I found they bounced around and rattled and rubbed really badly.

    700c versions will surely be heavier and with even longer stays so I don't think they'd be something I would want to use.

    And yeah, coverage on the 26" x 65mm ones is rubbish, defnitely need a flap.

    And just so its not a whinge about SKS guards in general, I have 700 x 45mm Longboards and love them, they don't bounce or rattle nearly as much.

    Hopefully the 20" version will be lighter and the stays stiff enough to keep them from rattling too badly.
