I've got a Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 as a spare CX race bike and to put on my trainer, over the next couple of weeks - if the weather improves - I plan to do a few road miles, so bearing in mind I have 30/32mm Spesh Roubaix tyres on the spare wheels, can I get full proper guards on there, if so, which ones fit best with tyres that size?
Oh yeah it's a disc frame and has all the necessary mounts
I've got SKS chromoplastics on mine - running 32mm schwalbe duranos now and had 32mm continental something or others before - some sort of city tyre that looks like a schwalbe Marathon. Plenty of clearance, possibly could get 35mms in there.
been running SKS Bluemels 700C 45 since the beginning of the year.
buckets of room with 30mm S-ones (Gone speed) and plenty of room with 35mm cross boss. Cope well with road, gravel and tame New Forest exploring with no issues...
Once set up, they are fit and forget (hence I have forgotten to mark and trim the guard stays, or fit the protective covers)
easy to remove and refit when bike needed for other reasons
beware front dropout bolts fouling the disc rotor lockring on refitting 🙁
also the attachment behind the fork crown may rotate the front guard backwards a little more than designed.
i still get wet feet in heavy rain/riding in streams, but not much spray off the top of the front wheel
