Grateful for advice on max tyre size and suggested mudguards for Giant Defy Advanced Disc (2017 model). Hopefully can take 28mm & full guards....

    Currently running mine on 28s without guards will check if clearance for guards tonight. Newer models run bigger tyres so they can but not sure on 16/17 model
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Pastie sorry for the delay, been hectic few days and forgot to check. I have a 25 Gavia on the front which gives approx 12mm clearance under the fork. The rear km running a 28 IRC Formula pro xguards tyre and again minimum clearance is about 12mm at its tightest spot. Pretty sure crudcatchers would fit but not sure about the Giant defy specific guards.
