    Hello,

    Is that the predecessor to the Defy? Are you using mudguards if so what make/type. Depends on the frame clearances and rim width I'd have thought. The only way to be sure is to order 1 with a folding bead from a retailer that does free returns and suck it and see. If you are careful when fitting then you should be able to return/exchange it if it is too big.
