Fitted them ok and they look a good sturdy set of guards. Can anybody confirm that I am reading the pictorial instructions correctly in thinking that the rear quick release springs are not required and thus should not be fitted ??
Many thanks.

take them out, they get tangled if you leave them back in0

Purchased a set worn them once then removed them. Appeared to be sturdy enough, but I was looking for mudguards mainly to eradicate having to clean the bike after every ride, they stopped spray up your derriere but that's has far it went. I even came to a conclusion that the mudguards made the bike more of a muddy mess. One more point the noise that emanates over rough terrain drove me insane especially on quiet country lanes the noise sounded amplified and unbearable. Think I will just resign myself to cleaning the bike after every ride.0

Your not supposed to use the springs front or rear with race blades.0

Yep I use them on my Colnago Master, absolutely brilliant guards. Yep no need for the Skewer Springs, but keep them safe in case you stop using the guards in the summer.0

Well, well, well!
I've been using mine all winter with the springs in place, didn't even consider that they weren't required.
As velonutter says, great mudguards.0 -

Really? Oh.. I've been doing that all winter!0 -
I've used them all winter and they are great for a bike that does not have mudguard eyes.0
