After toying with the idea of ruining the aesthetics of my commuter road bike, I finally caved and decided to fit SKS road blade long mudguards. The constant wet back/bum and feet helped change my view. The thought of putting on cold wet cycling gear at the end of a long working day was not appealing. Believe me I have worn cold wet cycling gear many a times and ventured out into the cold London streets to head home. Why I suffered or tortured myself in this manner? I don't know!

The SKS Raceblades Long are a highly regarded accessory, and this latest version following on from its predecessors which were an instant classic. 2020/21 has seen my evolve into a solid cyclists, even though I commuted to and from work for 4 solid years previously and still hold several KOMs from those days. I never wore bibs or owned an indoor trainer/bike stand/power meters or bike computer worth more than £40. Though my road bike at the time was a pricey bianchi with magic cosmic deep sections (a very sexy bike) I wasn't as fussed about looking the part.

The SKS Raceblades come with a five year warranty for manufacturing defects. Their customer service is second to none making SKS owners fiercely loyal to the brand and it's products.

Technically, RBLs are meant for tyres 25mm or under. Many modern bikes often come with mudguard mounts, making clearance underneath calliper brakes for the mounting brakes less of an issue. SKS are mainly for rim brake bikes and some disc break bike with normal QR skewers will have threaded holes on the brake bridge/fork.

I am pleased with how the commuter bike has turned out and will enjoy cycling too and from work come what may.
