I'm building a 650c roadbike for my missus as a xmas present (she's only little so big wheels would be silly).
I've got some 23mm tyres on their way, which will give a wheel diameter similar to a 26" wheel with slicks. I want to put mudguards on the bike so she has no excuse in winter. (I [i]think[/i] the frame has mounts). Problem is, all the 26" guards seem to be 55mm or bigger, so will look silly on a skinny tyred road bike. Narrow section guards only seem to come in 700c.
Are there any narrow guards out there for 650c/26" wheels?
Have you tried the SKS and Blackburn sites?
It's the curvature innit.
the crud roadracers can be teased into shape with a hairdryer.
Do they make crudracers for 650?
OP all I can think of is the old salmon ones which you might be able to bend. I hate them though.
Try Zefal. I got some from Decathlon for my sons 24" road bike, they're meant for 26" wheels but the rear is a clip on like a crud catcher & the front is like an elongated crud catcher which I've trimmed down to avoid toe clip overlap.
Islabikes do them for their 26" road bikes: [url] http://www.islabikes.co.uk/bike_pages/luath26/luath26-customise.html [/url]
On my old rigid Kona I have some TorTec chromotec mudguards to fit 26x1.0-1.5", they might be about right.
cheers. Islabikes or Tortecs look like they'll do the job. I'll check them out more once the bike is built.
