To fit mudguards on a road bike? Well the fitting was pretty straightforward, however lining up the rear so it didn't rub on the tyre was enough to make a saint swear, I got there eventually and had an uneventful test ride this afternoon, let's hope that now they are on that the rain stays away, even if it doesn't at least my back & backside should stay dry!

What ones have you fitted if they are the roadracer mk2 put a drop of glue on the screw that holds the rear section on otherwise it might come off that's what I had to do

They are Vavert 35mm fixed mudguards from Planet X, the main problem was the plastic clip on the rear that mounts between the brake caliper & the frame, I had to elongate the slotted hole in order to lift it a tiny bit higher, and it took long enough to realise I was fitting it the wrong way round so the brake Caliper crushed it when you applied the brakes.
