I was looking at this thread the other day and coincidentally have some SKS Edge Al and 2" Race Kings sat in my shopping basket on bike-discount. Recommend both?
Sadly the guards are going on my GF's bike so we won't be twins, but pretty close.
Edit: same rear light too
frankenbike-
I love the tyres so far, theyve handled sloppy mud and bridleways better than my skill would allow otherwise I reckon, and are good enough on the commute. Guards need a load of space in the frame, I needed to do some dremelling but they're good too. Tbf I seem to be suggesting them in just about every other thread where big guards are mentioned.

Lights finally fitted in time for daylight commutes.
Cable routing is meh but works. Added the carradice support formerly on my dolan too:
I'm still not in love with how it looks but the busier it gets the happier I am, somehow. I wrapped the gel bartape under the cloth tape as thinly as I could but it's still come out looking too chonky imo. Big gaps at the levers after re-finalising the lever position too.
Mudguard gap at the back of the rear wheel is a little frustrating, the thick stays dimple in under the mudguard, meaning it has to be pushed away from the tyre. There's nothing I can really do about it other than a reworking of the stays completely.
