I've got a rear crud on the post at the moment but was thinking of a little more coverage.
SKS are the obvious choice, I've got a disc caliper right on top of where the rear needs to mount but I know most just bend a wire stay or do without to get around this.
A bigger problem is the top mount. My frame (cotic x) only has canti bosses and disc tab at the back - no traditional bridge mount for roadie caliper. Front isn't a problem for this.
So far as I can see, the lack of this mount makes it near impossible to mount a race blade or chromoplast?
Not impossible, just less rigid. Longboards might be more suitable. Make sure you have a good fastening to the chainstay bridge.
Drill 4 holes in the mudguards, then put zip ties around the top of the seatstays.
I find this works nicely for Chromoplastics - less wobbly and more tyre clearance than the proper mount.
SKS velo42 mudguards might work, I've got a set on my similarly setup pompetamine.
@STATO, aha!I have a hole there. Never looked for threads, I just assumed it was a drain...
Just need a matching hole in the guard then, or a slot, and some spacers to get the height right. Drill a hole and extand with a small needle file, nice and tidy and gives a bit of adjustment, as youll never get the hole spot on first time.
Oh, and if only commuting on roads get SKS Longboards, or if a bit of offroad, SKS Chromoplastics.
Velo 42 are quite good. I had them on my hybrid.
