Title: Catalyst and SKS P65 mudguards
Post by: avdave on July 19, 2011, 12:55:35 PM

I run my Catalyst as a rigid mountain bike and want to know if it would accommodate the SKS P65 mudguards in 1.6 - 2.3 size. As my winter and wet weather off road commuter it's currently running a moto style front fender and crud catcher rear. Obviously full guards would offer better protection but I want to stick to the 2" Mud X tyres I currently run. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is running full guards with 2"+ off road tyres and how they've got on with it and most importantly will the wide guards fit the Catalyst.
Thanks

Not sure.... frame size may have an effect on the rear ( if smallest frame size ??) I used to run P55 guards with 2" tyres with no problem...

Thanks Brummie, I've emailed SJS and Dave got back to me very quickly, he thinks it shouldn't be a problem but he's asked Andy as well so hopefully he'll be able to confirm it. I'll look at the P55's as well though.
