Has anyone tried to put these on a cross bike? I have 700×34 Hutchinson Bulldog tires if that helps.

I don't think they will fit with tyres bigger than 700×25.

It'll end in tears

No chance

They're far too narrow for that.

if you could it'd look about as good as an MTB does with mudguards, i.e. awful

I think the idea is they stop you getting covered in crappy water/sludge.

I suspect looking good didn't really come into it.

I've got big red mudguards on my hardtail and I think it looks ace!

I've read reviews that say they won't fit anything bigger than a 23mm tyre.

i have some on a road bike…..very tight fit. don't think they will work on anything fatter than 700*24.

Designed for 700 x 23 tyres unfortunately

as there's more clearance on a cross frame they will fit, they're only a tight fit on a road bike because it's all tight, as it were

you'll need to find something to bodge them to as they're designed to strap round a fork/seatstay mounted brake, and as the guards are narrow the protection won't be the greatest

I fancy getting a set, does anyone know of any special offers?

why bother riding off road if you don't want to get muddy?,getting muddy is part of the fun!

No it's not 🙄 It's just something that we have to live with here.

For a start, it means that it's a hell of a lot less hassle post-ride and you can stick your kit straight in the washing machine without it dying in a year.

weird, might as well get a road bike

with crud race guards on? 🙂

Tried fitting mine before work this morning – would have taken me more than 5 minutes so gave up but the tollerances seem to be very small – only a few mm between the tyre and the guard.
