oops, I meant seat tube, not down tube.

Just a hint when installing the Crud fenders: consider putting a strip of electrical tape on your frame where the fenders will attach on the seat stays and downtube.

If you just put the zip ties or the rubberbands directly on the frame and then ride in the rain a lot, you'll inevitably get some grit in there and it will wear the finish. It won't ruin the frame, but you'll have some dull spots when you take the fenders off in the spring (or July here in Portland...)

I picked up a used set and it looks like they will require cutting of the
plastic on the read to fit.

Has anyone successfully installed them on a Cervelo Soloist? My frame is a
54cm so that might have some bearing on clearance.
