Crud Road Racer 2 Mudguards

matt_wright

Does any one know if these will go onto a Boardman Pro Carbon? Or is there something i need to check on the bike to ensure they fit on?

Or if there is a better mudguard avaliable for a reasonable price

They fit my Team Carbon fine.

I think if you can fit 5mm allen key between frame and wheel you should be ok. I may be wrong! It has been known.

I think they fit pretty much anything
remember not to wheel your bike on it's back wheel through picnic tables, tho;

You're not wrong! You might still need to be careful how you set the Cruds up but 5mm clearance under each brake, and between the rear tyre and the seat tube is what you need.

Whereas you are wrong!

I've had a couple of road bikes with only about 2 mm clearance over 23C tyres. There's no way would that Roadracers (or any other mudguards) would have fitted those bikes.

Well i can fit a 5mm allen key between the wheel and frame, so i guess it fits - i have just ordered them

thanks

Not only will they keep you cleaner and dryer they will also prolong the life of your bike.....
I got some metal nuts and bolts cos i popped one of the plastic ones off lifting the bike into my van........worth noting
