    Yes. Mine fit perfectly, and they have worked a treat.

    They say that if you can fit a 4mm allen key between the brake and tyre then the guards will fit.
    I've just fitted them to my Merida 901and had to take the sticky pads they supply off the guard so the wheels would spin freely but they're fine so far.

    I fitted some to my Via Nirone last week and they fit just fine. A slight adjust on the first ride, otherwise all ok.

    Do the back wheel first, this goes in easily and is good practice for the front. The front is very tight, but will work. OTOH if you have fitted wider tyres than 23s, it probably won't go. Be careful with the selection of the front lower flap, it comes further behind the wheel and you may get some toe overlap.

    The MK1's certainly didn't fit mine!?
    There was no way the rear was going under the brake, so I cut it short.

    Paradoxically the front fits easily?

    Anyone got any pics of how the mk2's fit at the rear?

    I'm intrigued...

    @ pickled - the Mk 1s fitted my Bianchi Via Nirone easily - although I have the model with the carbon seat stays so that may make some difference.
