I’d prefer the front ‘guard to be set lower because, while it stopped my shins getting splattered, the spray still wet the toes of my overshoes on really soggy rides. They are worth the outlay, though, because they do a great job of protecting you from road spray.īoth front and rear come with semi-rigid flaps, the rear protecting followers from getting sprayed. Unlike other CK7 builds in the range, this model doesn’t come with ’guards as standard, but as a £39.99 extra. These full-length units have a safety mount on the front, so in the event of something lodging between tyre and ‘guard it will release and you won’t be ejected over the bar. Road spray is deflected by a set of Flinger F25 Deluxe mudguards. In the wet, as a couple of leaf-strewn road slips testify, they don’t match the Continentals on Ribble’s Endurance Ti Disc and Condor’s Fratello Disc for control.
I found that they rolled well with plenty of cornering grip in the dry. They weigh in at 1,826g a pair and are shod with Impac Racepac 28c tyres. Although cheap, they’re strong, thanks to sharp-looking radial spokes upfront and Campagnolo’s unique G3 spokes out rear, where they’re grouped in threes. The Calimas are Campagnolo’s budget rim-brake training wheels.
The FSA chainset front shifts with certainty and positivity.
