Hi all, new Diverge Comp Carbon owner here (YELLOW!). Went the SKS Chronoplastic route (after previously having Giant branded guard issues on a Giant Defy), I also love SKS customer service & support!
Rear is perfect after some fettling (drilling larger holes & cutting down stays). Front is an utter nightmare. On the rear I was able to mount fitted directly to the frame mounting holes. Due to the mounting points on the front fork being infront of the thru-axle I can’t mount them there, as the SKS fittings will not clear the thru-axle on the drive side.
Thankfully my Diverge came with the Spesh adaptors from the shop! BUT… Fitting them, the grub screw point (in the bottom of the fork) is too far ‘forwards’ so the ‘tail’ of the adaptor is only held by a fraction of a mm on 1 side, the other side it won’t grab at all! Gah! Grub screws are also made of cheese so will be swapping them out for something more sturdy.
I notice several of you have fitted the ‘Specialized Fenders’ V1 & V2 which have solid stays fitting directly into these adaptors mount holes rather than using the adaptors themselves. I might end up replicating this idea ‘as a last resort’. The Chromoplastics have 2 stays on the front guard, making it nice and stable and avoiding lots of noise. So I’m trying to figure out how I can keep them… I have many bits of previous mudguards and an extensive range of bolts, screws & fittings. Have a feeling I’m also going to need a new hacksaw and a long weekend’s worth of patience!
Will post up pics to help others! 🙂
