Recieved the Chromoplastics P45s earlier and went to have a go at fitting them, ran into problems almost immediatly. Doesn't seem compatable with my frame, took a few pics of my mount points, are they even mudgaurd mounts?

The instructions suggest there should be mounting points around the QR.

The instructions show this as a horizontal point.

Can mudgaurds be fitted to this?

Looks like you have mounts, may just need some creative bending of stays to get everything to fit together?

One of my bikes has same guards with dic brakes.

You need to bend the mudguard stays around the brake caliper.

Got the rear one on now wasnt too difficult just bent the support until it was straight. The front looks like more of a challenge, need to do some cutting and filing.

What is the allen head screw for? Is that not a mudguard fitting? Is there one on the other side? We're dealing with a German bike manufacturer, I'd be surprised if they hadn't thought of how to fit guards.

IME one always needs to cut the stays - even for 700c wheels. I see on another thread a link to a Youtube video of the process - which was excellent, I learned something from it even though I've fitted several sets in the past.
