Any recommendations for mudguards on my new coctic escapade?
I have a 2 x 9 sora mech disc vesion gun metal with orange bar tape and labels. I am running 37c smooth tyres on mainly tarmac.
Crashed it recently and tore all my lovely orange bar tape up.
SKS Blumels work with Orange bar tape 😉
I have the 105 version it's a bloody great bike. I've resisted mudguards so far as it's not my commuter.
SKS Raceblades XL here.
I agree it's a great bike. I came off recently and chewed up the orange bar tape plus buckled the front wheel but everything else was fine.
SKS Bluemels here too, 45mm wide.
Used an extra set of the safety releases on the back (usually just on the front) in case of rear puncture as the dropouts face backwards. The stays on the front needed quite a bit of bending to clear the brake, ended up using a longer bolt to move the mounting point outwards and reduce quite how much bend was needed.
I'm running 28c tyres on mine, I've struggled with the gap between the top of the mudguard and the top of the seat stays. I've not been able to use a mount there as the gap is too long, so the guard flaps around
