Mudguards

Thanks. That does sound much use then. I wonder if it could be solved with a small piece of rubber under the strap. It's a shame as the 'guard seems pretty decent in all other respects.

SKS raceguards, fit 25s?

Yes.

25 on wide rims may required more finesses.

Are they the the best for no eyelet Disc brakes?

hello everyone. ive just bought a lovely set of pdw city mudguards 45mm. what is the largest size tyres anyones managed to fit under them? i'm hoping to squeeze in either compass barlow 38s or panaracer pasala 35s. cheers!

Depends on how far you can get the fender from the tire.
With enough clearance you can fit any tire under any fender, though of course big tire + narrow fender = useless.

yes thats true of course. would still like to keep dry! found this:

that makes it look doable but tight!

Generally a 10-12mm difference between fender and tire size is aesthetically most pleasing.

yes the link i posted above with the barlow 38s do look like a fat man in skinny jeans

Fitted some PDW's to my everyday Trek a few weeks ago. Easily the best mudguards I've ever had. My feet seem to stay drier for longer when the going gets tough.

@amey says PDW are £40

I see £70. Where can they be had cheaps?

I bought mine from triton when they were on offer; now that doesent seem like the case.
Cheapest I could find: http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/portland-design-works-full-metal-fenders-set-30mm-9719-p.asp

Looks like wet feet for me!

Might sell mine; will PM if I do. £30

What are you upgrading too? Gold plated ones?

Nah Canyon seems to be too tight for proper mudguards .. I'll give 23mm a go and PM you ..

2nd dibs on mudguards please pretty!

I also have a set that can be had for £30

Are they that much better than SKS?

not if you have a bike with dedicated mudguard mounts

Will carry on as per then

They the thiner version? Can I get 25 wide tyres under them?
Have you got P clips?

Interested.

Yup those pdw's are the dogs

Yeah the thinner ones. You basically can't get 25's under them. You can but it's sooo tight as not to work properly.

They come with p-clips
