I know this has cropped up on numerous threads but anyway...
Just bought some SKS chromplastic mudguards to fit to my winter bike (Trek 1.5). I can't work out how to attach them to the frame at the seatstays & forks. The instructions say to screw them in but there's nowhere to do that as the holes have the allen bolts for the brake callipers (105s). I was going to attach them using the the caliper bolts but the bolts are too wide to go through the mudguard eyelets - the fork bolt is also recessed so I'm not sure it would be long enough anyway.
The only thing a can think of is to file the eyelets on the mudguards to make them wider so I can fit them behind the fork/ seatstay using the caliper bolts.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
