GT Grade Alloy 105 - Mudguards
I've just ordered the 2016 GT Grade alloy 105 online. (£850 from Sunset Cycles)!!!!
What mudguards would people recommend for it? I'm using SKS Raceblades on my cross bike at the moment, and although they do a job, they sometimes come loose.
The mudguards on the GT will probably be a permanent fitting, but I'm unsure which to look at.
Any advice from GT Grade riders?

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

Hopefully it'll still be allowed for recreational use.

Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.

I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s

I have some Bontrager ones on my Grade. Work very well although not the prettiest. Do not lose the rear seat stay bridge for fitting guards that ships with your Grade- you'll need it
Congratulations for the new bike! Have the same but 2015 model. Keep us posted...
I bought the LifeLine Narrow Road Mudguard Set, black 42 mm, for my carbon GT Grade. It takes a while to fit but works fine.

I've just bought a Pinnacle Arkose which is pretty similar. I wanted to have SKS wides on there, and to do that I would need to cut a small bit out of them where the front derailleur cable comes up from the BB. Your bike looks like it has a similar style. In the end I went for Bontrager NCS Mountain guards (https://www.evanscycles.com/bontrager-ncs-mountain-mudguards-EV138151?es...).
They're a bit more pricey but feel pretty secure, are a lot simpler to adjust that the SKS ones (just need an allen key, rather than an 8mm spanner and lots of swearing) and the clearance is fine - in fact looks like you could go up to a 40mm tyre (I have 35mm on). Like you mine are permanent and they feel good.
