I can force it thru, but I'm probably compressing the tyre a little to do so. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10819#post-120181 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:11:05 +0000 kaputnik 120181@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Crud is a better mudguard than a raceblade in nearly every respect, beyond lack of clearance - but then it's not designed to have big clearance and the Raceblade "cheats" anyway by not trying to fit itself into areas with limited clearance.</p> <p>The Crud effectively floats above the wheel thanks to a couple of little brushes that keep it centred. Very clever and remarkably robust. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10819#post-120163 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:50:13 +0000 PS 120163@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@klaxon They do, but with the downside that they offer much less clearance than raceblades, such that a bigger tyre - say, 25 rather than 23 - or a ride on a muddy/leafy road can lead to rub. But then, that's just good resistance training ;-)</p> <p>I'd recommend them. They also have a nifty bit that protects your front mech and feet to a good extent. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10819#post-120131 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:57:14 +0000 Klaxon 120131@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cost aside, do these mount more securely than SKS Raceblades? My raceblades are constantly slipping out of alignment and chafing the wheel or not properly dealing with spray </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10819#post-120102 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:58:43 +0000 custard 120102@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well I ordered a set(just need a bike to go with them)<br /> So I will let you know if its honoured </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10819#post-120100 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:52:21 +0000 kaputnik 120100@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Possible error by their website drone that was picked up when orders for mudguards in summer went through the roof? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10819#post-120089 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:11:26 +0000 custard 120089@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Doh!
