Mudguards

Find Fox's fast audax thread - I think he had a pair of carbon forks with short reach.

I am mostly set on getting a pair of Topeak Defender R1/R2's for the upcoming sludge. They say they can take 25c at most.

Does a 23mm rim change the profile of a 28c enough that it might squeeze under?

Very slightly, it's not the height you're worried about, it's the width.

Does anyone in London stock long Berthoud mudguards?

Right so I need a front mudguard that can keep my feet dry in the rain. Getting tired of getting home/work with soaked shoes.

Is there anything that is not a full guard/eye sore that anyone can recommend?

dat coverage.

Look great but not sure I can spend over £50 for guards.

Already have raceblades on my road bikes. Dont really want to put full guards on my SS.

dat coverage.

If I'd known about these before then the Oak would have them, as it is I've got two pairs of the Curana C-lite which I'll be using.

it's £60 according to Road.cc

Actually a better price than I thought, bit heavy for an alu mudguard (my 60mm GB weight the same).

I think the owner of the Spooky extended his mudflap further than normal.

Didn't I told you about them before?

No. LMNH is stocking them, interestingly.

No.

How are you finding them for weight and coverage? Also what size did you get for your roadbike?

They're still in the box- need the bike before I can mount them (going on the Oak).

I see, size?

it's £60 according to Road.cc

I don't understand. They are $120 in the U.S. and 60 pounds ($95) in London? Is this some kind of introductory price? And LMNH is stocking these PDW guards?

I search in Google and a couple of online bike shop is also selling them for £60.

Price look great for those whom have a road bike with no mudguard mount/limited clearance, otherwise go for the SKS Longboard instead for nearly half the price.

Reputable shop like Charlie have them now.

Any idea on whether they'd work with some goldtecs?

There's always p-clips, but looking at the instruction, I can't see why not, with the only exception that you might have to reamed the mount a bit bigger.

Yeah. Was being lazy. Also remembered the bike theyre for runs 32s as well.

So probably not for that.

Having had a pair of PDW fenders I can say they are pretty nice. The only issue is they are very tight on the clearance front. They just about work with skinny tires but a 25c pasela is too much for them

+1 for SKS Longboard on sons' school hybrid commuter,
(Seal of Approval from Mrs. mespilus as well).

Just over £27,
no lbs interested in supplying them,
Halfords click'n'collect.

So, am about to get the Curana C Lite, can anyone advise width versus tyre size they use? I'm rocking 32s on my Nature Boy so I was thinking 40mm?

Review said they're not very long which in itself is a disadvantage, 32mm might be a tight fit with 40mm, theoretically 45mm would be idea.
