SKS Chromoplastic Secu Clip

Hi

I have the above mudguards (narrow model) on my winter bike. Last winter I had a wee crash and the rear mudguard came loose. As a result, the inside part of the clip (the Secu clip?) came off and I was unable to find it. I've since been riding with the rear guard lashed on with tape but I now need a proper fix to avoid any further embarrassment on the club run.

The problem is I can't find a replacement part. I've found these on CRC but it says they're for the front and I'm not sure if they have the internal fixing which is the bit I need. If those are indeed the bits I need, I'm also unsure which size I need. There seems no obvious way to measure them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

SBK

    They were originally intended for the front because you absolutely don't want your front jamming but they are interchangeable front and rear.

    I'm guessing this one is the standard size but I don't know for sure:

    Obviously SJS isn't cheaper if you to pay postage but if you need something else as well it might be just as economical.

    According to specs the stays are 3.4mm on Chromoplastics so it could mean you need the 4mm clip. Is the hole in the clip 4mm wide by any chance. That might be the dimension in question.

    The hole in the clips I have is about 6mm. Mine also appear different as they an internal part and an external part. Whereas the ones shown on CRC and SJS don't appear to have an internal part.

    I broke my old SKS's and just bought a new pair in the end, which are a better shape anyway. Look in Ribble cycles and they're under £20 so not worth messing around finding bits for :wink:
