Fitting full SKS mudguards to bike without mudguard eyes

[dansenior]

I have a bike without mudguard eyes, and full size sks mudguards, can i use a clip or something else to attach the mudguards instead of using braze on eyes?
Maybe even attach at the same point as the wheel?
If I need a braze on are there any companies youd suggest could do that, my bike is quite rare, and i dont really want to change anything if i can help it, nobody suggest raceblades please, i already know about these, full size mudguards are what im after, as i wanted to protect the frame as much as i can.
Thanks

Hi dansenior, welcome

What you need are P Clips, click here

Nice and cheap, and will de exactly what you need to do.

I think you will need race blades TBH. They come with their own rubber straps. Are you sure you will have the clearance under the forks to fit a regular set of mudguards ?

Zip ties are the answer to everything. I have a bike with insufficient clearance for proper guards - cut a plastic one and zipped it either side of fork bridge, and zipped the stays to fork over a bit of inner tube for extra grip.

Use thickish ones and they are solid as.

+1 for the suggetion about Pclips and zip ties. My CAAD9 doesn't have eyelets so I used pclips (only a couple of quid at most), but the fork doesn't give enough clearance for the front mudguard to go under it, so I cut the front of the mudguard off and then zip tied it to each fork leg. Works fine for me.

My mudguards are for anything up to a size 28 tyre though, so thinner mudguards might fit the gap between fork/tyre. I was just using what I had spare at the time.

+ another for P clips and zip ties, you can do pretty much anything with them, if you sit down and work it out.

Pictures of the bike might help.
