I have checked the instructions and need better ones. The archive instructions have different names and numbers and I dont know which one will do. Can anyone help ?TIA </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18935#post-285507 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 16:12:48 +0000 mfcity 285507@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am hoping I’m not alone in foolishly piling up bike gear for vague future use. Right now, I have two sets of Velo Orange 26 inch x 60mm mudguards, one steel, one aluminium, with the mounting hardware. I also have used but decent condition Tortec chromoplast style 700 x 35mm guards which won’t fit with the 30c tyres I’m trying to use.<br /> I’m looking for somethling like the Velo Orange or Gilles Berthoud 700 x 42mm guards if anyone happens to have some new or used ones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15852#post-206797 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:35:43 +0000 fimm 206797@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If I were to attempt to buy mudguards for a bike that does not belong to me, how would I know what size mudguards to buy?</p> <p>(I have access to said bike, so I could measure things. But I can't take it anywhere without the owner knowing.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14434#post-181665 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:44:45 +0000 mfcity 181665@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was wondering whether people more experienced with mudguards could offer some advice. The only type I've used in the past are the Crud road ones that attach with elastic p-clip things, on a bike without eyelets. They're fairly easy to mount, but on the flimsy side.</p> <p>I'm looking for full mudguards, first of all for an MTB for utility riding, with 26*2.1 tyres and dropout eyelets, as well as brake holes and chain-stay bridge (though still hoping to find a brake booster to bridge the long clearance on a 100mm rigid fork). Leaning towards SKS chromoplasts, as they seem straightforward and functional.<br /> The other mudguard aim is for an <u>old</u> Super Galaxy that just fits its 38mm tyres, for longer rides. Here, I'm torn between glowing reports of aluminium 'guards (which might make the bike look prettier and more theft-prone than it should be, really) and the down-to-earth rationale of SKS. I think for both 'guards, being quiet and durable is more important than lightweight.<br /> Any recommendations about these, or if someone has a suitable set to sell, would be appreciated. Thanks! </p>
