Mudguard for road bike with top cable routing

blu3cat

Hi, after the recent biblical downpourings and my sks x3 just not hacking it anymore I have found myself being envious of those with decent mudgauards :oops:

So, please help, I have looked at lots of large ccoverage rear guards, but am concernedabout mounting to the seat tube.

I have a CX bike with all cables routed via the top tube. The front mech cable routes down the seat tube, to a pulley near the BB then back up to a standard front mech. I have standard brake mounting holes as well, and being a CX running skinny road tyres, oodles of clearance for guards.

Can anyone recommend decent rear mudgaurds that do not require mudguard eyelets that will offer maximum coverage, and not interfere with the front gear cable. Not that bothered about how easy to remove or not, as they'll stay on for most of the winter.

Maybe look at the SKS longblades, just fitted a set and they work really well.

I'll have a look. I initially thought they attached to the Seat tube, but looking at the photos I should be able to fit them, and if necessary trim out any bits that may interfere.

Ta for the tip.
