[Closed] Genesis Equilibrium owners.... what mudguards fit ?

I'm running sks bluemels 35s on mine but with the thicker stays from the chromoplastics. Pretty sure a set of 42s would need modifying to get them to fit.

Built mine up using the ltd edition 853 frame. Lovely to ride.

Oh that's nice. What size is it ?

Cheers. 54cm.

Anyone able to tell me what year this one is as I need to get a front mech for it but don't know seat tube width......

28.6

I have 35's on mine.

I've got the narrow PDW guards with 25mm tyres on mine. Wonderful mudguards, those Portland Design Works.

Cheers Simon is it top pull top swing etc ?

is it top pull top swing etc ?

Just a standard road mech so bottom pull, conventional swing.

Cheers.

I don't know anything about road bike stuff. It's all new to me.

SKS Chromoplastic on mine

I had a cherry red Equilibrium. I think it was 2011 or 2012:

I used SKS Chromoplastics.

What size of tyres are you guys running? I have 28's on my Aether (nope, not considering dropping back down as the roads are crap) and finding guards that fitted was problematic. Have got some frankenguard using and old crud catcher, a decathlon clip-on and pannier but a proper solution would be nice if I could get one.

Christ I didn't realise they were that expensive when new.

25c on mine, looks like 28c would work but would be a squeeze.

They were a bargain frame-only though. I think I paid £325 frame and fork back in the day!

Axiom Roadrunners. Never had to think about 'em or adjust. Not much more to say.

That colour is amazing!

Yep got to say that's very nice.

Wow. That looks amazing.

Thanks Renton. As second bikes go she's not bad. I'm really very fond of this bike and the way it rides. Once you're up to speed she hustles along very nicely. She's not especially responsive to big power inputs and you can feel some of the power being lost through flex but she's not meant to be a race bike. I have a race bike for that! Durable, comfortable and very easy to love with is how I would describe it.

How you building it up mate

I've got mine to commute on but hopefully might start doing a few road miles to so in can lose a bit of weight.

Well here she is .......

Needs a front mech and a bit if a settle but it's in very good condition.

Pleased to see good reports on the Equilibrium I've just ordered a disc 10 on CTW and am like a kid before christmas... Can't wait for it to turn up.
