Tire clearance decides which mudguard fits, not the wheel size alone · review
A 28-inch mudguard set from a specialist German manufacturer, aimed at gravel and road bikes and sold as a complete front and rear set.
Our conclusion The mudguard to buy for a gravel or road bike. Confirm the tire clearance figure first, because gravel tire widths vary enormously.
SKS makes mudguards, pumps and accessories in Germany, and the SPEEDROCKER is its gravel-oriented guard set.
A 28 inch mudguard set, front and rear.
The published detail is thin for a product of this standing, and we report exactly what is there.
Mudguards do not fail interestingly. They rattle, the stays work loose, the plastic cracks at a mounting point after two winters. Those are all solved by iteration rather than innovation, and a manufacturer with decades on the same product has done that iterating.
Gravel bikes run anything from 32 to 50 mm (1.26 to 1.97 in) tires. A guard set aimed at gravel bikes covers a range, and the range is not published here. Measure your tire and confirm before ordering — this is the single specification that determines whether a mudguard fits.
Compared with the clip-on set in this hub: more coverage, a drier rider, a cleaner drivetrain, and spray kept off whoever is riding behind. The requirement is somewhere to mount them — eyelets at the dropouts and near the brake bridge, which most gravel frames now have.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.

It is a 28 inch set aimed at gravel and road bikes. SKS does not publish a tire width clearance on this listing, and on a gravel bike running 40 mm (1.57 in) tires that is the number that decides fit — confirm it with the seller.
Mudguards fail at the stays and the mountings, and they rattle. A manufacturer that makes them as its main product has iterated on those parts for decades.
