Full details
The SKS Raceblade Long Fitting Kit is for road cyclists seeking robust protection against road spray and mud, especially during wet weather or winter training. Its key benefit is comprehensive coverage extending below the hub axles, keeping you and following riders clean. A potential caveat is its specific design for tires up to 25mm. This kit features ultra-long mudguards with adjustable stays for a precise fit, and a quick clip-on/clip-off system using steel mounting brackets attached to brake bolts and wheel skewers.
