Mud Gaurds on my Cannondale Six

[carlgorse]

Im looking for some advice on Mud Gaurds please

I bought some Crudz mk2 mud gaurds for my Cannondale Six roadbike but for some reason im having problems trying to fit these as ive got no clearance at all .

So ive had to put these on my Fautso Coppi instead but love and missing riding my cannondale six now

Ive joined the Hartlepool Cycling Club and looking forward in riding with the club

Thanks for any advice

Carl

hELLO Carl welcome to cyclechat.

I dont know exactly what clearance you have on the Six for mudguards.I have barely enough on my Scott Speedster but found I could make them fit with a bit of fiddling.I had to leave the cable ties a bit slack to make them work.Overtightening the cable ties seemed to push it to one side.

beautifull bike by the way I was drooling over a cannondale six in the bike shop this morning.

Many Thanks Banjo

My Cannondale Six as around 12mm Clearance as to around 35mm on my Fausto Coppi

Im going to order another set and sit down and try and fit them the best i can and try those tips you gave me

My Cannondale is the 2009 model and just love riding it

Once again many thanks for those great tips and this looks like a brilliant forum and great members to .

Cheers
Carl

PS : any members on here from Hartlepool Cycling Club as im looking forward to meeting you all soon

also have a look online at their website as they have video tips for you to view - I got a leaflet in the box with mone to tell me this although I had no problems fitting them to my Vitus which has very little clearance too. Don't forget to tape the frame forks and stays so the elasticated ties don't scratch the paintwork too

Thanks Kev

I will look into that and give it a bit more time

oh yeah i don't want to scratch my red paint
