SKS Chromoplastic/Blumels mudguards ....

[Fab Foodie]

Want to get some SKS guards for Mrs FF's Boardman Hybrid. Tyres are 28mm Conti ultra-sports. Don't plan to go any fatter.
SKS do a 35mm sction guard for 700 x20 to 28 size tyre and then a 42mm section for 700 x 25 to 35.

Basically, want the thing pretty light and aerodynamic without too much extra guardage, will the 35mm section do the job sufficiently on a 28c tyre?

Any experience?

The 42s have quite a lot of clearance on a 35mm tyre, so I think you'll be better off with the thinner ones.

The 35mm set are fine with 28mm slicks and look very nice. I have them on my Boardman Hybrid Pro.

How do you like the Boardman Mark?

I can honestly say that it ticks all the boxes for me. It's light, fast and stops on a sixpence and I can use it without feeling that I have to tear along as I do on my carbon road bike. It's a perfect bike for commuting and it is great for riding bike paths or light off road use.

Got these for my 28mm tyres

The breakaway mounts are on the mudguards and not the stays like the SKS

They even fit my Schwalbe Marathon 28s
