  1. Hi,

    I have a Nimbus 26" Muni, though I use it most for commuting to school.
    Since I get pretty dirty (as in 'covered in mud'😉 then it's rained,
    I've decided to buy a mudguard; more specific the SKS X-Blade Rear
    Fender.

    No luck when I visited the bike shop, so I think I'll order it online.
    Which means I can't try it first. But the X-Blade is said to be highly
    adjustable, so I hope it's OK.

    I found a really good online shop today, and almost pursued it at once.
    Then I noticed that it was for 700c wheel - as far as I know, it's ~28"
    right?

    Therefore my question is: do you think it will work good for my 26"? As
    I'm into Muni, the wheel is pretty "fat" (which probably isn't the
    adjective here, but I hope you know what I mean).

    Thanks in advance. Hope to get quick answers so I can order it today.
    😉

  2. Why can't I find the edit button?

    I think the problem is solved, it seems that the fender fits both
    narrow 26" and 700c wheels. Great! At least I hope so, because I'm too
    impatient to wait anymore.

  3. that guard is most likely designed for road bikes, seeing as its
    marketed for 700c tires and narrow (not really MUni sized) 26" tires.

    hope it works out for you though.

    Thanks for the information. 🙂

    zfreak220: I'll post a report when I've received it. Just don't expect
    fancy pictures, unfortunately I don't have a camera.
