Speaking of touring bikes, I know a number of CR members have converted 700C/27" bikes to 650B. Has anyone solved the problem of how to fit mudguards to these bikes? One could fit 700C mudguards, but there would be a hige gap, largely defaeting the purpose og mudguards, as well as looking bad. 650B mudguards are made for attachment points at a smaller diameter than found on a 700C frame. Anyone solved this?
