Anyone fitted mudguards to their Planet X carbon pro SL? Seems to me like most of the ones Ive seen arent going to fit - anyone bodged some on? Help please before the rain drives me off the commute

Crud Road Racer Mk2's fit with 23mm tyres

I fitted some when I did a rainy sportive the other day.

You take them out of the box and they look really rubbish, but do the job OK.

Hi I have one of these bikes. You can't fit normal mudguards to this bike or any other bike with racing geometry and clearances. I have used SKS raceblades for last two winters. Not bad but I find they rub and rattle a lot (for my liking). I am going to try some CRUD ROADRACER 2s as soon as I have the cash. If you're interested I could sell you the raceblades to try?

The Cruds rub too - they're designed to
It doesn't seem to have too much affect on the wheels rolling but I hate it all the same

You can't fit regular mudguards only the clip on variety, of which i'm only aware of two

the sks ones

I've got a set of brand new, bagged, SKS raceblades - £25 posted? email in profile if you're interested.

bought for my Planet-X Superlight but never got round to fitting them and don't commute any more.

Thanks boys

wwaswas - thanks for the offer but going to try the cruds as they seem to give more protection. I expect that they will rub and rattle but will just have to live with it
