Scott, up until last Thursdays ride I had a set of sks race blade longs but the long one on the rear wheel decided to explode into a few pieces!! The metal clip connected to the brake as well as the bracket between the mudguard and the quick release both snapped whilst going downhill which left the mudguard in bits. I think I may have clipped a stone which then hit the mudguard causing it to happen. I was happy with the sks race blades so hoping to get a replacement rear one.
