Clip-on mudguards (like Raceblades) to go over 38mm tyres
« on: 05 December, 2021, 09:53:17 pm »
On my old Gitane road frame I have 38mm 650b tyres. When this bike was still using 700cx23 tyres I could use a pair of Raceblades (the wider of the two widths that were available at the time) which with a bit of bending could be made to fit over 28mm tyres (as I did when I changed to 28 tyres a bit later).
Now I have converted the bike to 650bx38 tyres and while I can use the rear Raceblade by lifting it  way off the tyre, this isn't possible on the front due to lack of clearance between frame tube and tyre. So the question is what clip-on guards are there available now (in the age of gravel bikes with wide tyres) that will go reasonably snugly over a 38mm tyre. And obviously which ones are any good!

I have found these https://www.bikester.fr/crud-road-racer-mk3-paire-de-garde-boue-M723482.html? which state they will go up to 38mm wide tyres. Has anyone tried this? Any good?
