If you have't got mudguard fixings, then you'll have to fit some P brackets to the chain stays and forks.

But not elegant and you might not have sufficient clearance for full mudguards

The best solution is to fit some Crud Guard roadracer guards, which will fit on all but the closest clearance frames, and give excellent protection to you.

They don't rattle about and don't look out of place on a race bike, my only complaint was they are flimsy and my front one smashed after the fork stay bolt undid.

Good choice, looks as though it's got mudgaurd mounts, useful this time of year. Enjoy, can become very addictive
