Product Information
Full details
The SKS Bluemels Cable Line Mudguard Set is designed for adult cyclists seeking robust protection against mud and water, especially those using bikes with luggage racks. Its key benefit is superior splash protection combined with an integrated system for managing rear light cables, offering a clean and efficient solution for all-weather riding. A potential consideration is that optimal integration requires a compatible frame and potentially some minor adjustments during setup.

FAQs
What size wheels is this mudguard set compatible with?
This mudguard set is designed for 28-inch wheels.
Can I install a rear light with this mudguard set?
Yes, the integrated cable tunnel is specifically designed to facilitate the easy installation and management of rear light cables.
Is this mudguard set suitable for mountain bikes?
While designed for robust protection, they are best suited for touring, commuting, or hybrid bikes, especially those with clearance for wider tires and luggage racks. They may not fit all mountain bike geometries.
How do I clean the mudguards?
Clean the mudguards with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive materials.
What is the 'sandwich construction'?
The sandwich construction involves embedding ultra-fine aluminum strips within a plastic coating. This design makes the mudguards exceptionally robust, rigid, and resistant to corrosion.
Are the cables included with the mudguard set?
No, the mudguard set includes the MK cable management clips for securing existing cables, but the cables themselves are not included.
How durable are these mudguards?
They are built to be extremely robust, rigid, and corrosion-resistant due to their sandwich construction and quality materials, ensuring long-term durability for regular use.
Troubleshooting

Ensure all mounting bolts and stay connections are tightened securely. Check that cables are properly clipped into the management system.
Mudguard rubs against tire
Verify the mudguard is centered and has adequate clearance. Adjust the mounting points or stays if necessary.
Cable cannot be routed cleanly
Ensure the cable is not too thick for the tunnel. Check that the MK clips are properly engaged and holding the cable taut.
