Full size mudguards

[totem]

What are my options for muguards that provide full/max coverage? For tyre size 28-35c.

The few I've seen are the SKS Longboards and the Tortec Reflectors, any others?

Thanks.

What bike?

I have SKS chromoplastics on my Genesis, they are narrower but I think they come in a full range (I think you'd need a 42-45mm guard)

SKS longboards on my Boardman CX. I use 35c tyres and fitted the 45mm width guards.

SKS Chromoplastic every time. Get the right size.

B*gger to fit though.

@vickster It's a Genesis Croix de Fer 20. You're right on the size recommendation.

@cosmicbike how have found the longboards so far?

Anyone else have/used the tortec reflectors?

 

[cosmicbike]

Absolutely spot on in the last 2000 or so miles of commuting. I do suffer toe overlap so have on occasion popped the front guard out of its mount, good job they're designed to do that..

you need SKS chromoplastics P45 size - you will need a hacksaw to cut the stays to the correct length though (and a metal file for the ends) but otherwsie they fit quite easily

forget about plastic .... get Velo Orange stainless steel ... get the ones that are 45mm wide :

https://www.velovitality.co.uk/products/velo-orange-45mm-smooth-mudguards

on that site, the 45mm are sold out at the moment, but use google to search others in the UK

you could also go for the 700cx50mm wide

What did you end up fitting?

Just a side note I have SKS Chromo on my CX bike in 35mm, looking at the bridge on the rear stays and also at the bottom of the seat tube , i don`t think 45mm size would fit in without cutting. could be my frame but it seems really tight just now. Oh and to the OP, if you are running 32c or bigger grab the 45mm, coverage will be much better ! ( assuming you ave plenty room )

This, I've just knackered my second plastic rear mudguard, when I get around to replacing it I am going metal

Finally fitted some P45 guards yesterday to the CDF just need to fine tune the left hand front stay as the caliper is in the way
