Hi - thanks for your message. No, not the ones you mention but the Crud Roadracer Guard - I don't just need to protect my own back but also be acceptable to other cyclists if out in a group. Looking at the Racepac sort, I suspect they'd throw quite a lot of muck into someone's face if they were drafting? Although the Roadracers are very thin, they are still proving a tight squeeze over 25s. I'm hoping when I switch to 23s in the spring that they'll work OK then but if anyone else has found a better solution that would work with 25s, I'll be very happy.

I've had a quick look at the Giant TCXW on the net and it looks very smart - is it replacing the Madone or are you riding both?
