Full details
The Oxford 700c Hybrid 56mm Mudguard Set in Black is designed for adult cyclists seeking protection from road spray and mud on their hybrid or touring bicycles. Its key benefit is providing reliable coverage for 700c wheels with tyre widths between 40-45mm, keeping you cleaner during wet rides.

FAQs
Are these mudguards suitable for road bikes?
These mudguards are specifically designed for hybrid and touring bikes with 700c wheels and tyre widths between 40-45mm. They may not fit narrower road bike tyres or frames.
What is the exact width of the mudguard?
The mudguard itself measures 56mm in width.
Do I need any special tools to install them?
Basic bicycle tools such as Allen keys (hex wrenches) are typically required for installation. A Phillips head screwdriver might also be needed for some hardware.
Can I use these mudguards with wider tyres than 45mm?
These mudguards are optimized for tyre widths between 40mm and 45mm. Using them with wider tyres may result in insufficient clearance and potential rubbing.
Is there a silver version available?
Yes, this model is also available in a silver finish.
How do I clean the mudguards?
Clean them with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Will these mudguards fit my 29er mountain bike?
These mudguards are intended for 700c hybrid/touring setups. While 700c and 29er wheels are the same diameter, the tyre widths and frame clearances can differ significantly. Check the 56mm guard width against your specific 29er's clearance.
Troubleshooting
Mudguard rattles or is loose
Check and tighten all mounting bolts and stay fixings. Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and secured.
Mudguard rubs against the tyre
Adjust the position of the mudguard using the mounting points. Ensure the tyre is correctly seated and inflated. If the issue persists, the guard width may be too narrow for the tyre.
Mudguard does not fit the frame
Verify that your bicycle has the necessary mounting eyelets for mudguards and that the wheel size and tyre width are within the specified compatibility range (700c wheels, 40-45mm tyre width, 56mm guard width).
Mudguard is cracked or damaged
Inspect the mudguard for damage. If cracked, it may need replacement. Contact the retailer for potential warranty claims or replacement parts.
