Mudguards & tyre size.

[mybike]

Has anyone fitted an SKS 35mm mudguard to a bike with 700x35c tyres? If so did it work or do I need to send them back and get the right size?

You need to get the wider SKS guards.

This , you need the 45s I think. Those are for skinny tyres (I run 23mm with mine)

Supporting @Spiderweb and @vickster I'd say the widest tyre the SKS 35s would fit satisfactorily are 28s. If you tried to fit them over 35s, you'd have to mount them further way than optimal and even more detritus would escape left and right. I stayed remarkably clean on Saturday for 70 miles, half of it through muddy Devon lanes (with SKS Chromoplastic 35s over 28s).
By good fortune I had a small flood to cross before emerging onto the final main road. Cleaned my wheels (using 'cleaned' in a comparative sense) very nicely.

Thanks guys, I was trying to be lazy. I've sent them back and ordered the right ones.
