Crud Roadracer Mk2

New ones came today and fitted:

Think the main difference over the original version is the rear wrap is greater, there is extra protection by the front mech. The little furry guides are fitted both side just inside the upper stay fixing

Thanks for that post they look good, just ordered mine

Nice!

What size tyres are those? The last ones wouldn't work with my 25mm tyres, which was a bit of a bugger.

They fit with room to spare on my 24mm Vittoria Open Paves.

There's certainly more coverage on those than the Raceblades,they look very tight to the tyre though,do they rub at all?
Might have to look at those as a winter essential.

They are very tight fitting and there is no guarantee 25's will clear, mine are 23's. They don't rub BTW

I too have 23's but they are Schwalbe Durano+ which may be slightly thicker than a standard 23.
I do like the idea of the extra coverage that they give compared to the raceblades
I can always try them and sell them to norm if they don't fit,he likes to collect stuff he can't use

Well,I've just ordered a pair of these as they will be far better in the winter,just received a £5 Wiggle discount so with that plus my 'gold' price means they have cost just over £23-bargain.
If they don't fit you can have them for £20 norm

ps-they are out of stock but no rush,winter can wait a few more weeks.

I've just taken delivery of a pair which I'm going to fit in the next couple of days and review on my blog.

I'll have a read of that with interest then,doubt if I'll get mine for a week or so.

The new ones look like they might be "club run acceptable".............

Excellent. Cruds were the only guards I could get to fit, and that improved rear looks just the job. I'll have to wait till next week though, I've just blown £225 on a pair of specs!

Just fitted the Crud Mk2's while I was cleaning the bike (I have never had such a clean cassette and chain), had a bit of a wrestle with the back one rubbing on the wheel until I realised that rather than tightening the tie wrap I should slacken it then it was ok

I also made lots of transparent anti rub patches out of copter tape instead of the black pvc tape I was using, to stop the mudguard mounts, tie wraps holding on various bits & bobs and the brake & gear cables from rubbing the paint through.
