I've got a Planet X London Road see link here:

The mudguard mount on the fork is part of the way up the forks, and it won't take a pair of Urban mudguards I had at home due to the positioning. Due to the extra angle created, the mudguard doesn't fit now.

Does anyone know of an extender that I can buy that will make the guards reach to the holes? I think I need around 3 or 4cm extra length to get them to fit.

    I can't find anything that would extend them, unless you are able to fabricate something yourself. They'd probably create a weak point anyway, and bend like an elbow with annoying regularity.
    I fitted these to my CAADX

    Which has the mounts in a similar position (but on the inside of the fork). I assume that spot on the outside of the fork is a mounting hole, the photo resolution isn't quite enough when I zoom in
    They needed a bit of cutting to fit inside the top of the fork, but after 3 1\2 months, are as steady as a rock.
    Also available in a narrower size

  • Thanks for that! Ideally, I would be able to just go buy a cheap adaptor of some sorts so I can salvage a use for the pair of guards I've currently got.

    I'll keep the c50's in mind though as a last resort.
