My bike is 27.5 and was thinking of the 29 version for better coverageyou think the 26 would be just as effective?
Any pics of it fitted?
No, it's the mudguard which has just been posted.
I’m keen on your thoughts of the Deemax wheels. I’m thinking of upgrading to them
Ah it was the topeak xc11 I was interested in seeing how it fit. It's a quick release mudguard.
Hi, so the deemax are the E S30 version, and a worthy upgrade on my stock Giant AM rims. I’m not going to say it’s night and day, I’m not a very sensitive rider, but there is an improvement. Firstly I noticed a smoother ride, important for me coz I mostly do long distance trail rides so comfort is a high priority. Also they are very good at holding pressure. I would need to check the stock ones every ride, but these I can trust and maybe do once a month. Maintenance is low, I’ve done over 2000k on them and all they have required is a re-grease in the freehub. They have a reputation for being bomb proof but I can’t really comment on that because I don’t ride that hard. My set up is around 110kgs fully loaded so they have a pretty easy life with me, but you do see them on some pretty high end stuff getting smashed around, and haven’t heard any horror stories on this model. The model below is a bit weaker I think. One small negative is that tyres are quite tight to get on and off. You need to make sure both beads are sitting right in the wheel wells for this. Ok when you get the knack and probably the reason they seal so well along with the spoke setup. Lastly, one of the best looking wheels out the in my opinion. I got mine on a deal at CRC, but last time I looked they were very cheap at Tredz. So overall I’m very happy with them, mechanically and cosmically. I ran them in the summer with some 2.4s on which worked really well, but as you can see I’ve got the chunkies back on for winter. Hope that helps.
Should have mentioned that I've got the sicomtb short guard permanently fitted so it gives some protection lower down the frame where the Topeak probably wouldn't.
Another plus for having a mudguard. I also use a front mudguard with sides, it keeps most of the dirt off the fork legs so the seals have a much easier life.
Same, I keep mine on year round. You can only take so much horse and cow poo in the face
I double wrapped mine and it does look crap until it’s covered with, eerm, crap. Also I’ve got the early version but did a mod with an old inner tube to protect the lower part, works a treat.
. Had to get the heat gun out on mine to centralise it over the tyre once fitted 
That's great info, many thanks. Now I want to fit it even less!I double wrapped mine and it does look crap until it’s covered with, eerm, crap. Also I’ve got the early version but did a mod with an old inner tube to protect the lower part, works a treat.

Don't worry about using a hairdrier on the helitape. Unless you have an unusually hot drier and put it up really close to the frame, I very much doubt it will affect your invisiframe. But as all the suppliers say "try it in an innocuous place first".
I bought the same mudguard, was a pain in the ass to install it. Didn't try it out though, as I was quite sick for the past two weeks so didn't ride anywhere at all.
Nice ride broI ended up getting the topeak defender xc11. Seconds to clip on/off which is exactly what I wanted. This is the 29"er model on a 27.5 wheel (they were in stock and on offer so took the chance with it)
Not had a chance to test it out yet. Don't care that it looks ugly, I won't see it when I'm riding
