They do but I can't work out how to do copy and paste on this tablet so you'll have to find it yourself!

I'm assuming Wicksie's guard ends 2" horizontally from the bridge, not vertically. I may be wrong.

Joni perhaps find a way to cut bits out to fit between that narrow spacing, so it can be a bit further from the wheel there. Keep trying, it's worth finding a way.
Spacing a bolt or band with a tube is a good idea: skateboard wheel spacers are useful, 8 or 10mm each, stack a couple onto whatever you're using to fix the front end to the chainstay bridge.

The problem is attaching the mudguard to the stay and still keeping it far enough back to allow the wheel to come out
I still reckon that cutting a bit of thickish plastic or rubber tubing about 8 / 10 mm in dia and about an inch long would do, then drill two holes (as in my pic of the seatstay bridge) and loop a cable tie through the holes, then through the tube, and then over the bridge. That would sort it.
Either that or drill the bridge from below, get a little bit of metal (some mudguard kits come with one that is perfect) screw that to the bridge, put a bend in where the mudguard needs to fix on, drill a hole in the guard and the bracket you have made and put a bolt through that. I have done something like the last option on one of my bikes, I will take a picture of it in the morning. -
Drill the bridge out. A fearsome prospect maybe, but ultimately the tidiest and most stable solution.

well i think i've finally killed my lovely chrome giles berthouds. clearance with 28c randos was rizla thin even with customised attachements. subsequent excessive "fettling" which devolved into grumpy bending and kicking caused dents and broken attachments has finally done for them.
don't think i can justify the expense and hassle of replacing them considering i'll run into the same issues again on my beater frame unless i go down to 25c. and even then it'd be touch and go.
so what's the nicest looking affordable alternative for a pretty but ultimately cheap and cheerful beater?

Just seen this thread.I have Crud Catcher Road Racer MKIIs on my Freddie Grubb road bike which I run as a fixed gear with 700C wheels. They work perfectly and are simple to set up. They're easy to remove and refit and they've kept my arse dry through the winter. The frame's designed for 27" wheels so I guess that helps with clearance. Had no mechanical failures after ~5 months. Bike looks better without them but that's true of most mudguards.
-
They definitely benefit from connection to the bridge. If it's old, maybe get one put in?
-
Long shot.
Anyon with any recommendations for full mudguards that would fit 26"x2.5" tyres. I'd kinda like silver, but its not that important.
-
You can fit mud guards like these on any bike AFAIK
-
I've not owned a pair, but from pictures it looks like they'll work with any modern road bike. Looks like they have loops to go around the forks/seat stay, and another connection point just behind each brake.

Clip wouldn't reach (2" away). Use a tube (alu or plastic) and loop a zip tie through it. Around the bridge and through two holes in fender.
