Mudguards ?

[Adam4868]

Sure it's been done to death....but I've had the crud mark 2 on my last few bikes.My latest bike (Ribble sportive) seems to be too tight a clearance, especially at the back under the brake.So was looking at SKS or similar but any idea which ones ? I quite like the idea that there easily removable,or are there any other alternatives.Thanks

Ribble sell SKS Bluemels in 35mm or 45mm with the frame, so I guess it's safe to assume they fit.

An heartily recommend SKS Raceblade Pro XL. I just fitted some to my fixed bike, it has mounting points but clearance was too tight for proper guards. They are a million times better than the cruds I used before.

Sort of fancied them,I like that there easy to remove ? Where did you buy from Milkfloat ?

Tredz were cheapest when using their discount code. They actually dispatched them quickly as well, which is no always the case with them.

You may want to check the measurements to see if they will fit, but I just got some Planet Bike Cascadia and they are lovely! Nice long mudflaps.

Quite pleased with the SKS Raceblade longs. The little brackets under the brake calipers hold the guards well. A bit fiddly to get the guards on and off the brackets though.

How are you getting on with these please?

I have a Trek Domane Disc and I can get a set of Trek mudguards that specifically fit the bike but I can't be bothered with the fitting on and taking off process even if it would only be once per year - I don't want them on all year round. So an easy on & off option is preferred.

I'd mainly use them on wet roads as opposed to riding whilst raining.

Found these at a good price in matt black (same colour as my Trek):

Still a fan and still in use, albeit not daily on my commute. I would certainly buy them again.

Ok and many thanks - I'll get them ordered and give them a go.

Lots of good reviews online and I'm aware of their limitations.
