Mudguards

edited November 2013 in General
For those of you that don't have the luxury of having a winter bike or a frame with mudguard eyelets, have just seen that wiggle have these in the sale:

Full length mudguards

Not only will they stop you from getting a wet bum and keep your components from getting full of dirt, but will save your club mates on group rides getting a mouthful of road muck!

The winter is here...

  • I have a set of these still in the box. Won't fit my Condor steel frame.

    £10 to first bidder.

  • Hi Jane

    They are designed for bikes with no mudguard eyes and close clearance between wheel and frame....however, my Condor has such close clearances that the road racers don't fit. I've tried every which way, but there isn't enough clearance specially between the rear brake bridge on the frame and my 25mm tyres. Frustrating.

    Still....this provided the perfect opportunity for me to buy another new steel Condor frame that does have mudguard eyes and I'm transferring all the components from the other bike onto it, plus full SKS winter mudguards. Road racers now redundant!

  • John I'll buy them!
    I've got eyelets on the back but not the front (?!)
  • John - I've checked my Millook and it has barely enough clearance for a bit of grit between the frame and rear tyre

    Looks like I'll be sticking with my Race Blades for now - not brilliant, but they're better than nothing
  • Jane,thanks for coming back and hope you stay dry (ish) over the winter!

    Nathanial they're yours if you still want them for a tenner. Your bike doesn't need eyelets for these guards, but if you have eyelets on the back it suggets you should have sufficient clearance.

    Let me know and can arrange collection.

  • If Nat does not want them, put them down to me

  • Definitely want them sorry!! That spare £10 can get towards 2 months of riding food!!
  • OK, Nat, they're yours. I'm in Hitchin, so let me know when you'd like to collect and I'll whisper address.

    Sorry Adam - at least you got first dibs on the Obree/Boardman book I donated!

  • Hi John guess you didn't see my PM back, definitely and I can collect whenever is convenient for you cheers
