I can confirm that Crud Road Racer Mk3's wont fit a 2015 Planet X Pro Carbon (Blue). The front forks curve in quite a lot to the headset. This means that the spokes will rub against the mounts that stick to the inside of the forks. I test fitted it with cable ties and it rubbed badly no matter how I adjusted it. With the sticky fixing pads attached as well there would be even less room.

Oh, well. Back to Amazon it goes. Any suggestion for mudguards that fit Planet X Pro Carbon's?

It's my son's bike so keen to fit something so I don't get covered with crap from his rear wheel when we are out. I usually follow him. More so now as he's getting quicker!


Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    I have 25mm tyres on my Pro Carbon and there isn't enough room for a bit of mud on the tyre to get past the rear stays so I'm not surprised Cruds don't fit.
    You'll have to cycle in front :-)
