'Mudguards you'll want to put on your bike'

Crud realised that if you could 'float' the mudguard off the rim, then you could do away with a lot of the traditional fixings. The RoadRacer just hovers in place so there is nothing to rattle or rub.

• The Road Racer is the latest ultra-light mudguard for road bikes.
• Innovative fitting system allows the Road Racer to be fitted on bikes with exceptionally close clearance where traditional mudguards simply won't go.
• Incredibly flexible plastic blade and breakaway fittings prevent a wheel locking should a foreign object get caught between the mudguard and the wheel or frame.
• In-built and replaceable pile brushes allow the guard to 'hover' close to the tyre without rubbing, and negate the need for tough, heavy fittings and keeps the mudguard guard central over the wheel.
• Minimalist design looks good on even the most high end of rigs.
• 180g (claimed).
• Colour: Black.
• Set includes both a front and rear guard.

"If they fit your bike they're superb; if not, they're annoying."

When you need a mudguard to work, they do a superb job. On wet and rainy rides we have returned remarkably stripe-free, front and rear.
