D'oh! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15353 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 16:36:41 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 15353@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll buck the trend on Crud Roadracers - tried the MkII about a month ago and my fixed wheel doesn't have enough clearance at the front to fit them.</p> <p>Tried every trick in the Crud book (and from their online videos) with 'minimal' rubbing at the front the rear end stuck out so far, even without a tail attached, that I had hideous toe overlap. The rear was superb however.</p> <p>Really well made and good looking things if you've got the clearance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15348 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:24:43 +0000 chdot 15348@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"chdot, need to get yourself on the Crud affiliates programme"</p> <p>You could be right. </p> <p>Though (even though I buy some stuff on-line too), I'd rather not be seen to promote the idea, when Edinburgh has such a good selection of bike shops!!</p> <p>(Yes I support some local bookshops too!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15347 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:19:30 +0000 chdot 15347@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Just bought a set too after reading this thread"</p> <p>So, this forum is encouraging people to get mudguards and decent lights. How dull. </p> <p>- and sensible!</p> <p>We'll have to go riding to have FUN. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15346 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:18:49 +0000 kaputnik 15346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>chdot, need to get yourself on the Crud affiliates programme </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15345 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:14:58 +0000 miggy_magic 15345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just bought a set too after reading this thread. Hopefully my bike will have enough clearance too.</p> <p>Should be here tomorrow. Au revoir, soggy breeks... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15338 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:28:13 +0000 Cyclingmollie 15338@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Arrived this morning and fitted. With a 24mm GP Attack they have (just) enough clearance. Good to get some spare fixings included. The big surprise is that they look good. They wouldn't be out of place on a carbon road bike imo. Hopefully I can get out to try them out this afternoon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15206 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 17:03:41 +0000 Cyclingmollie 15206@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the recommendations. I've ordered a pair of the Crud Road Racer MkII's from Merlin Cycles. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15191 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 10:23:43 +0000 Kim 15191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have Crud Road Racer MkII's with 28mm tyres on <a href="http://www.kimharding.net/blog/?p=1391">the CdF</a> (they are intended to be used with a max of 25mm) and they work. I definitely recommend them for a road bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15178 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:09:51 +0000 kaputnik 15178@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Crud RR Mk. 2 is my shout. I have them on the commuting road bike and will be buying another set for the weekend road bike for the winter. Get some :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15175 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:52:35 +0000 steveo 15175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It was <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1460">discussed </a>a few days ago. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1577#post-15173 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:29:57 +0000 Cyclingmollie 15173@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has anyone tried any of the other alternatives to SKS Race Blades? I think the people who make Crud Catchers do mudguards that fit a road bike or are there others? </p>
