I bought a set of SKS raceblades yesterday,
which look a good piece of kit to me.
The rear one went on fine. At the front I have aero-profile aluminium
forks. I can;t seem to get the mounts positioned properly,
as the mounts don;t position that well on the rear of the forks.
Anyone got good tips for mounting raceblades on such forks?
Also does anyone have an Altura Post Pack, the large sized one?
I saw one on someone's bike, and quite liked the look of it.
Are they any good?

Position the mountings on the inside of the fork instead of trying to
'balance' them on the bladed edge. Put rubber strips under the mounts
to provide better grip and use zip ties instead of the rubber
straps..you will be able to pull it tighter. Bend the arms to ensure
the mudguard clearance is equal and does not touch the tyre.
No experience with the rack unfortunately.
