Are clip on mudguards any good?

Clip-on full cover mudguards and fenders Clip-ons are another option if your bike doesn’t have eyelets.

Crud Road Racers are a great option for bikes without eyelets but are undoubtedly a hassle to fit.

Do Canyon bikes have mudguard mounts?

Do you have to put mudguards on your fenders?

What kind of tyres can fend off mudguards?

The standard Fend Off fenders are compatible with tyres up to 34mm wide, or there’s a ‘Wide’ model that’ll fit 45mm gravel tyres.
