Crud RoadRacer Mk2

For those of you looking to get some mudguards to see you through the winter season (And even of you that arent, but really should!) I can reccomend these heartily!
Tricky buggers to fit if you try to decipher the rather lacking instruction leaflet, but using common sense and looking at the pic of them correctly fitted to a Trek Madone on the back of the box, they are a piece of cake.
My bike has hardly any clearance with a set of 700x23's on, so I was dubious, but after a bit of tweaking and tightening after an initial friction addled ride, they are now perfectly positioned away from the tyres with no rubbing at all, and no discernable difference in handling or weight.
Apparently the Mk2 have a longer rear guard as the Mk1 was still causing splashing.
Excellent bit of kit!!

I've had a set on my winter bike for about a year and they're great.

As long as the cable ties are nice and tight, there is very little movement, so no rubbing, and no contact from the blades.
Went out in the rain today, and my butt stayed perfectly road grit free, and the extended sidewall on the rear mudguard kept the censored off of the hardware, so less mess on the moving parts!
They are good.
Didnt realise this was such a widely discussed topic though, so sorry if Ive added to the clutter of the interwebz!
