Calling Ruby Comp owners! I've a mudguard question...
Hello all - It's exactly a month today that my brother came up here to deliver my beautiful Ruby Comp, which he'd sourced on the net for a brilliant price - She's 5 years old but in immaculate condition and obviously hasn't done many miles with the two previous owners - the most recent had found she was the wrong size for her; don't know why the first didn't get on with her. I've been out about 7 times on her and am bowled over by her speed and lightness (having been on a hybrid for past 6 years) but am frustrated by the winter here at the moment. Today is hopeful (very windy but sunny and no ice) so won't spend long writing this.
I just want to ask if any Ruby Comp owners have opinions on fitting mudguards... My bro fiddled about and put Cruds on but, with 25s rather than 23s it's a tight squeeze and I'm having problems to keep the guards off the tyres - especially when there's muck on the roads (and there is lots of it because farmers round here are busy trying to turn the lanes into extensions of their fields, with a yucky layer of mud and sh*t spread all over the place!). Any experience shared would be welcome as I'd like to keep my backside clean and not put one in the eye of other riders!
