    The damage to my carbon frame and forks wasnt worth it. Ive left them off my bike and use my old vintage Quinn for winter now

    Managed to fit them to my Nero Corsa today. The front was easy the rear difficult. I had to saw the end off just past the cable tie slot to get them to fit - as instructed on the video on the crud website which was useful. Looks fine now, a good product I reckon.

    so the product is so good that you have to partially destroy them in order to make them fit..??

    Despite that it's a good product, yes. My bike has very tight clearances, I never thought anything would fit.

    By the way way I got mine new off ebay for 13.50 plus 3.95 postage. See http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... =all&tid=0
    Bargain I reckon.

    Yes. It does a job that no other product does as well. The real fault is that the frames are not designed to take mudguards, then we want to fit them. Crudguards are a compromise but a very good one. Mine work fine on a Trek 5200.

    Can you get mudguards like you see on some mtbs,
    the ones that clip to seat post on rear
    and on downtube on front?

    Yes, just use the ones sold for MTBs. They do not provide as much protection though.
