    Has anyone successfully removed Crud roadracer guards from their bike and been able to reattach them the following autumn?

    Am thinking of taking them off now that Spring is here

    Mine have been off several times. Never had any problems. Just make sure not to lose any of the stupid little plastic screws/nuts.

    Cheers lads. I'll check the forecast for the 3 peaks challenge on April 10th before I go ahead and remove them!

    Every Spring I convince myself I'm faster with them off, go for it - Spring is here!

    It's like getting a haircut. You're faster, more aerodynamic, and you look better.

    I've never successfully detached, or stored where they can be found again intact, ANY set of mudguards.

    And at this stage I've tried them all.

    Sounds like the problem ain't the mudguards!
