Product Information

Full details

The SKS Raceblade Long Fitting Kit is for road cyclists seeking robust protection against road spray and mud, especially during wet weather or winter training. Its key benefit is comprehensive coverage extending below the hub axles, keeping you and following riders clean. A potential caveat is its specific design for tires up to 25mm. This kit features ultra-long mudguards with adjustable stays for a precise fit, and a quick clip-on/clip-off system using steel mounting brackets attached to brake bolts and wheel skewers.

Troubleshooting

Mudguard rattles during ride

Ensure the mudguard is fully clipped onto the bracket and the stays are securely adjusted and tightened. Check that the tire is not rubbing against the mudguard.

Mudguard does not fit snugly

Readjust the length of the stays to better match the wheel's radius. Ensure the mounting brackets are firmly attached to the brake bolts and wheel skewers.

Difficulty clipping mudguard on/off

Check the clip mechanism and the mounting bracket for obstructions like dirt or mud. Clean them gently if necessary. Ensure the bracket is correctly positioned.

Tire rubs against mudguard

Adjust the stays to increase the gap between the tire and the mudguard. Ensure the mudguard is properly aligned with the wheel.
