Anyone come across any low profile 'guards for 27" wheels?
My road bike runs on 27 1/4" (32c ish) gatorskins and there isn't much clearance under either fork crown or brake bridge.
Last year I had a pair of SKS crud racer 2's on there, with some heating and resetting of the plastic I managed to get them to run fairly well, only the medium/long tail on the rear guard would cause constant waggling. Took them off for summer, gone to re-use the and they are so mangled from having junk on them no amount of heating /bending will get them to fit without serious rubbing on tyre side walls.
Anyone know of anything more suitable? Raceblade long's might help get around the clearance issue, but fitting 32c anywhere near them?
