I have a Siruss and want ti fit mudguards, however I have tried SKS and Roadracer along with some Halfords own make. Even Halfords were scratching their heads, any one got any ideas?

Thanks

    Had a sirrus untill last year with sks race blades, perfect fit, not cheap and not as effective as full guards but kept my clothes clean and bike reasonably so. Look good as guards go. You can move the mudguard in the metal frame to get best fit, tight but does move. Can also take guard out completely and bend frame a bit if need be. Secure with cable ties. Hope thats of some help.

    Crud Roadracer might fit and be more effective than race blades.
    They look pretty too!

    Thanks but I think the cruds only fit upto 25 Tyres, looks like I need to try the SKS but didn't like all the plastic/rubber ties. But guess beggers can't be choosers

    Thanks

    My son has a 2009 Sirrus Comp and this has SKS full guards fitted by the shop. A wider set would have been better but they fit all right with no rubbing.
