I know you've just had one ride 😁 but would you recommend those guards?
I got a Contend AR recently (from Gt Yarmouth) and have been trying I work out whetjet to fit those or go for something else like bluebells.

@jdp I would! Easy to fit and picked them up reasonably cheap. 37mm wide for 32mm tyres.
Was looking at the Kinesis fend off guards as an alternative but the temptation of an easy fit was too strong. Didn't have to bodge anything other than a longer fork mount bracket to bring it closer to the tyre.

First big ride on the new to me Giant contend. Ebay bargain I picked up in Norwich. Love it, but don't love it enough to clean it after today. Full guards with long flaps, still covered in shit.
Giant rgx bike specific guards rattled loose just once, need to tighten everything up. Minimal swearing involved to fit them mercifully. Bring on more winter cold crispy days!
