Just bought a boardman adv 8.8 (I work at Halfords) what mudguards would be a good match for gravel bikes? It has cable disc brake the caliper is inside the frame. There are some screw holes on the inside of the forks, there is a screhole on the fork crown and pannier and mudguard fittings on the rear
Say... That's a nice bike..

    not sure if the current model on the halfords website is different to yours but I cant see any mudguard tabs on the fork
    There looks to be plenty of clearance for a mudguard front and back with the standard 700x38c tyres

    If you had to buy through Halfords then probably the Zefal No Mud Mudguard would be the safest bet

    I cant tell from the images whether there is a hole in the fork bridge as would be for rim brakes where you could mount a traditional mudguard. If so then something like the SKS Velo 42 Urban Mudguard Set would work.
    otherwise consider something like the SKS Velo 65 Mountain Rear 29" Mudguard and SKS S-Board Front Road Mudguard

    Love my Crud Catchers, took ages to get the right ones, on all 4 bikes, they have routing for all cables

    I can get staff discount from tredz too. It does have a screwhole on the back of the fork where road caliper goes and some on the inside of the forks
    Say... That's a nice bike..

    Interesting, ive never seen mudguard mounts inboard of the fork before, not sure how that would work with disc brake clearance either. Im not sure on that.
    However seeing as you have a mount on the fork bridge then you could use these which are easy to remove when not needed. My wife has them on her bike

    Trouble with most mudguards is the look Old fashioned which is why I chose the crud ones

    The crud catcher mount is MUCH better and allows FULl side to side and up down adjustment without undoing

    Am I being unusually thick? You've bought a Boardman bike and work at Halfords, but you're coming on here to ask us which mudguards might fit?? Is there nobody at work who knows? What happens if a punter comes in and wants to buy the same bike but with mudguards installed??

    I fitted some SKS chromoplastics to a colleague's Genesis Datum. That had mounting bosses on the inside of the fork legs so the (suitably bent) stays cleared the caliper on the LH fork leg

    The cruds are for MTB bikes also they are not fill length don't go past bridge stay or under fork

    Anyone got any experience of the Portland design work mudguards? Full metal various width.
    I have 700*35mm G Ones can also fit 650b wheels which I don't have yet, or the need for .. yet so can't decide which size to go for.
