Gilles Berthoud 700c Stainless Steel Mudguards - Long

I recommend this product

I know they are only mudguards, but its not clear at all where all of the bits are supposed to go. Do the stays fit inside or outside of the mudguard, where do the washers fit, where does the large rubber washer go?
Just print off an A4 and include please.
Luckily the manufacturer answers all of these questions on their website with some very clear diagrams. Seehttps://berthoudcycles.fr/en/636-pair-of-stainless-fenders-700c-x-60-front-long-hardware.html

Great quality well made with sturdy stays. You need to also buy the rear mud guard fitting bracket to fix to a rear brake bridge, although you could make one yourself but it wouldn't be curved to fit the guard. Need some patience to fit correctly and need to drill your own holes to fit the rear bridge bracket and mud flaps/rear reflector of you want. They don't come with rear reflector or flaps. I advise fitting the rear guard to Mark up where you want to drill the holes for the bridge support, then remove the guard, drill the holes then refit. The stays are quite long and need cutting with a hacksaw and filing the sharp ends. When fitted these are secure and rattle free. They are barely noticably heavier than a pair of plastic guards which I replaced, which rattled constantly.

They are not only good looking they fit the arc of a 700c wheel unlike the plastic variety where you end up with a varying unsightly gap between tyre and guard.

Yes, they require some patience and a bit of skill to fit, but you'll be glad you took your time. Once on these babies are gorgeous. All my cycle buddies are envious. However good they look, they work even better. (I think they have more wrap/curve over the tyre perpindicularly?) They are extremely quiet without a hint of rattle some plastic & aluminum ones can make. The galvenised stays make a huge difference. Now... I know the follks at SJS say 40c widths can handle at 35 c tyres, but I think you'd be hard pressed. Not so much width wise, but the sidewall profile is taller on a 35c tyre. I'm running 32c Gatorskin Hardshells and I could not fit a larger tyre. Of course, frame size matters too, but just be cautious. I highly recommend these mudguards. Get 'em.

I bought these mudguards for a classic-style touring bike. It takes a fair bit of work to get these mudguards installed, so they're not for the faint-hearted, but these things scream

Brilliant

these are really nicely made mudguards. I bought them to replace some knackered sks thermoplastics.

you should be aware that they are a bit of a nightmare to fit depending on your frame. My 80's raleigh racer (which has mudguard eyes) requires an extra bridge clamp to fit the front, and an extra p-clamp to fit the rear. All this you'll need to work out yourself because there are no fitting instructions. I'm still not entirely convinced i'll be able to get the rear on at all, but we'll see.

SJS it would be great if you could get some fitting instructions on your site, plus a warning about frame compatibility and extra parts that might be required...

Perfect for my Salsa marrakesh,

I recommend this product

I was able to fit these by using the fixings supplied plus some improvised mounting brackets to cater for the lack of pre-drilled mounting holes on my frame. The bike looks great and rides quiet as a result!

Quality product to a really resonable price.
