650b mudguards

CantGetNoSleep · 16-06-2019 7:58pm #1

Just wondering is anyone using full length mudguards on a 650b wheelset?

I have a Canyon Urban that I use for commuting so need mudguards on it. Bought a pair of SKS Bluemels which are meant for 700c wheels but gap between the mudguards and tire was far too big so I don't think they would work.

Anything I find online looks far too wide for huge MTB type tires (I'm running 650b - 35).

Anyone recommend anything?

Portland Design Works, there's probably cheaper options out there. I use the road version of these commuting through the autumn/winter/spring. Very happy with them.

Thanks, looks like what I need but want to keep the price down a bit, mainly as I leave this bike locked up outside the odd time so know it could be stolen.

Also found these ones on Evans Cycles - still a bit wide (55mm for 35mm tyres) but I'll go for them if I don't find anything else

Still struggling to find any suitable mudguards for this. 700c just seems too big, but any 650b i've found are 55mm wide and just too wide.

I bought the below but they don't fit through the fork or seat stay bridge.

Given the amount of 650b bikes around now you would imagine there are much more mudguards but I simply cannot find them anywhere.

I think the bike was originally even sold with mudguards - looks like it was these ones which would do the job ideally as they also take a pannier - but at 169 EUR they are not ideal for a commuter where I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible as it gets locked outside from time to time.
