Crud Roadracer Mk2

All-plastic construction and tool-free right has made the 180g Roadracers wildly fashionable since their introduction on the goal of 2009. Rubber rings on the seatstays and zip-ties around your brake bolts and seat tube unite them in place, and the clever brushes inside the stays keep them rotten your tyres.

Roadracers need patience to fit. At slightest 4mm of break among tyre and brake is essential. A tape on the Crud website is packed with hints and tips – we’ve found the type is to rotate them around the seatstays and fork to remove them into place. Sometimes they only won’t fit, especially if you obtain very little clearance and hanker after to use up 25mm tyres.

The super-long rear lengthening and front derailleur guard fix a unlimited job of keeping spray rotten your connect and feet and riders behind you. Front coverage is proficient too, though we’d like an goal sample to facilitate flares like the rear individual to minimise spray. One release: The rear is so long it hits the ground if you pop the bike up on the rear circle.

The largely considerable weakness of Roadracers is to facilitate the ‘releasable’ zip-ties around the brake bolts forever need heartless to perceive them rotten. That completed, you can take the guard rotten the seatstay mounts in support of a sunny daytime.
