26” Sks mudguards @planet x bikes £17 incl postage

[Tsundere]

Went for 55, this bike was always meant to be a workhorse so it'll only ever have slick or semi slick tyres under 1.95'' on it, mudguards were always part of the plan but I was reluctant to disrupt its clean lines, silly I know. They'll stay on it permanently though now, this bike has two jobs, to get me to and from work in the wet and to be left locked up in town without me worrying about possible theft, I have other bikes for fun and admiring

Just buy both, like I did. Decide later.

Officially here is the chart

I went for the 65mm, but then I don't have a bike to put them on so needed to hedge my bets.

Well that's irritating. They don't play nicely with suspension corrected forks.

I guess I'll have to find a cheap brake booster or bracket extender

I had the same problem but at the rear and not quite as extreme as that, if you find a suitable bracket extender please let me know, I'll do the same

Spoke too soon, nice find
