I know this has been done to death and everyone always says 'get Chromoplasts and bodge to get it round the disc caliper'.

I've got a set of p45 Chromoplasts here and the front will go on although getting it centered is a PITA, but the back has multiple problems. The nds stay won't actually bolt on as the wire is a little too wide for the cowled dropout and would need bending to clear the caliper if it did. The ds stay bolt is going to contact the chain when used IRL although a couple of washers would probably fix this. The front fitting to the chainstay bridge won't fit on the hooky clip as it can't get close enough due to angle of seat tube and the bolt option will foul the BB threaded FD cable. As discussed elsewhere the hole in the bottom of the wishbone could be made to work with creativity.

I'm going to take these back tbh, and see if shop offer to fit or will take them back. Packaging is wrecked but there's no alterations been made to the guards.

What else would anyone recommend, preferably with a similar fitting to a race blade but coverage for tyres to 37?

Thanks!
