Just built up my Kinesis for winter and want to fit guards.

Should I go for Crud raceguards or go for more of a fixed permanent guard?

Whats best?? :?:

    Has it got proper mudguard eyelets? If so, get proper mudguards.

    Yep, I agree with Nap. If you can fit proper mudguards then go for them (and p-clips are great for frames which don't have eyelets).

    Yeah got proper eyelets.

    Are 'proper; mudguards more stable?

    Yes, much more. And they keep you dryer, especially if you fit a mud flap.

    In terms of brands then SKS generally offer good value.

    If it will take them, SKS Chromoplastic. It's not just about the eyelets, it's also the clearance, which will depend on the tyre size.

    You'd be daft to put Cruds on a bike that can take a proper guard
