Hi,
If thats your bike in your avatar you will be hard pushed to find normal guards that will fit with.
There are clip on ones, or crud road racers. The problem isnt so much the tyre size, but the tyre to brake-bridge clearence.
Nice choice of bike, by the way!

I've ended up with Crud Roadracer Mk 2's, which will fit but I had to reverse the stays - on exactly the same bike as yours.

Why reverse the stays?

Because it wouldn't fit with them the normal way round - reversing the stays pulled the top out a bit and allowed 25mm tyres supplied on the Secteur to fit.

Got 25mm tyres on my bike with Cruds and they fit fine.

No - they may fit yours, but I simply fitted them the other way round when fitting the mudguards.

Proper full guards like SKS Blumels would be my choice, and indeed was when I swapped the 35's and put 25's on for a while

I have 25mm tyres and Cruds and they rub
Yep, and for this very reason I have 23mm tyres for when I put the Crud's on, which hopefully won't be for a while yet! Without the Crud's I normally ride with 25mm tyres.
