I agree
I have the 50mm 700cc hybrid ones and they'd done 2 years of good work.
The attachment for the base of the rear guard didn't quite fit, but I strapped it in with a cable-tie and it works fine.

Just to be clear, the mudguards in that picture are not the ones that the OP is asking about. Those look like SKS Race Blades which will fit on just about anything, whereas the mudguards the OP linked to are proper full size SKS mudguards. It will be a bit of a squeeze to get those on under a short reach caliper brake but you can probably manage it using the narrow 35mm ones and running 23mm wide tires.

The Briza doesn't appear to have mudguard braze-ons so OP would be best off with the Race Blades. Chromoplastics would be unlikely to fit even in 35mm witdth I reckon.

Just realized that he's asking about different ones.

Not sure, I think the smaller ones.

I have used 35mm full SKS chromoplastics on bikes with Tektro 730 long and short reach Shimano Tiagra calipers and 23mm tyres. They work great and give great protection. Use pclips (best) from LBS or cable ties to fix and cut excess stay wires with hacksaw. Easily adjusted due to oval shaped bracket to brake bolt hole. Mudguard/Tyre clearnace can sometimes be unavoidably small so expect mud and leaves clogging on muddy country roads. Nice price too. I paid 35 Euro in my LBS but got the 4 Pclips included.

Agreed, because they're plastic, apart from the steel band at the top, you can just trim the sides as you need to, with a decent saw or even some good scissors.
