Mudguards on boardman road team?

sam.i.am

I have recently got myself a boardman road team and am absolutely loving cycling! Anyway... thinking ahead to winter is there a way to fit a front mudguard to my bike? I have looked at crud road racers and there is enough clearance at the back however just under 4mm at the front so according to the crud spec they wont fit. Is there a front mudguard or another set of mudguards that will fit?
Thanks

I've got a Road Comp 2010 and the Crud Racer MKIIs fit fine.

SKS Race Blades. They don't pass under the brakes like the Cruds so there's no clearance issues. The down side is they don't don't offer full coverage or such good protection from the spray. They are well made, though.

What size tyres are you using? I think the limit is 23mm for Cruds.

700cx23mm tyres, just the standard Vittoria Zaffiros.
I think I'll probably go for the race blades. Thanks for the advice.

I have the race blades and find them ok, make sure you fit the clear plastic stickers to the frame though, for some reason they have a tendency to get grit under the pads that sit on the frame?

you should be ok with road racer mk2 and 23mm tyres. mine rub occasionally, especially when on cruddy roads. I can't seem to be able to run 25mm tyres with the road racers on my Boardman Team though (which is a shame as thats a good width tyre for winter)
