Best bit is it looks like it's a permanent fix and would need a allen key to remove. This is not the case!</p> <p>Doesn't look cool but it works fine plus I can remove it if I'm going for the streamlined look/working on the bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7957#post-80040 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 11:59:45 +0000 crowriver 80040@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Real mudguards for real cycling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7957#post-80027 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:43:57 +0000 Smudge 80027@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorted then.. fit (and forget!) "proper" 'guards and bask in the admiring glances at your newly cool audaxy/long haul looking velocipede, and of course a dry clean bum! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7957#post-80025 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:15:48 +0000 kaputnik 80025@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That bike looks just old enough to have been built before the current fad for designing OUT the ability to use a full mudguards.</p> <p>If it has eyelets on the dropout, the other attachment points of a "real" SKS guard are trapped between the brake and the brake hanger and the little bolt hole down by the bottom bracket.</p> <p>Front is the same, except BB attachment point. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7957#post-80012 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 08:15:42 +0000 custard 80012@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>agreed.looks like plenty of room<br /> more than I had on the Boardmans bridge </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7957#post-80010 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:03:38 +0000 Smudge 80010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like plenty clearance, for a commuting bike I'd go the whole hog and fit SKS full 'guards. less prone to rubbing than raceblades imho<br /> (All assuming the pic isn't misleading when viewed on a teeny screen!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7957#post-79992 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 01:08:26 +0000 Stepdoh 79992@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had a real stinker of a commute home last night. Normal trousers + rain + road detritus = eugh. Can't wait for my kit (and pedals and shoes and red knee warmers!) to arrive on the boat but in the meantime looking for ways of keeping butt a bit dryer.</p> <p>Back end is here, it's a bit bereft of connecting options. Running 700x25c Hutchinson tyres. Clearance between tyre and calipers is at least 5mm.</p> <p><img src="http://a.yfrog.com/img877/3301/4abyo.jpg"></p> <p>It's got not much to connect on the seat stay, but has eyelets above the rear dropout.</p> <p>Have chatted about raceblades and crud roadracers on the twittser but not really came to any conclusions, any other suggestions? </p>
