Hi folks,
I`m looking at getting some of the new crud road racers but on their site it says only for 23-25 mm tyres. Does anyone run these with 28c tyres?

Cheers

    I don't think they can be fitted with 28s.

    The c+ review reckons 25 is a struggle.

    I fitted them last week to my bike and I have 23's. I'd think 25's would be pretty tight, and 28's would be a step too far. I think the only area you have to worry about are where the stays attached to the guard itself; this is where the guard arches over the wheel slightly, and I guess would be the place most prone to rubbing on the tyre.

    If you've got 28s on your bike, you possibly already have the clearance for full 'proper' mudguards?

    23s fit fine.
    Might get away with 25s but depends on brand. Deffo not 28s
    If you have to run 28s then get some full size guards.

    Cheers folks, I do probably have clearance for full `guards but rather liked the look of the crud ones tbh :(

    Go for the full guards, definitely.

    '25 Ultra Gatorskins are ok with racerguards
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
