Should be an easy one.....

Can anyone recommend a set of Mudguards that will fit my CAAD X bike with disc brakes?

The crud road racer ones look okay for £20 on Wiggle.... Will they fit disc brakes though? :|

    The crud roadracer mudguards are designed to be used with caliper brakes as they use the caliper mounting bolt as a fixing point.

    Doesn't your bike have fixing points for proper full length guards, e.g. at the fork crown/dropouts and seat stay/chain stay bridge, rear dropouts? If so you need to work out what width of guard will fit your frame/fork clearances and the clear the tyre width you are using.

    Some SKS or Blumels type guards should fit. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sks-bluemels-road-mudguard-set/
