Anyone using a CAAD10 disc with full length guards? Is it possible, what brand?

Late reply. Figured somebody might find it useful.
I'm planning to mount Spencer Omega guards on mine this weekend. It'll be a DIY-job. Main issue is to fix guards to the fork crown (no holes) as well as fixing the stays to the fork.
I'll probably be swearing a lot during the process. But hope to make it
And I have seen a guy with SKS Longboards on them. Used zipties and high bondage adhesive tape in the fork crown.

Look into the Portland Design Works Full Metal Fenders. I was very happy with them on my road bike.
If any fender is going to fit, these will. The rear mounts over the brake bridge giving you more clearance. Once set up, using the quick release mounts is easy. I could change a flat one the road and still the fenders wouldn't need readjusting after putting the wheel back on. Only difference is you have to remove your QR to take the wheel off. This keeps you from marring the frame with mounts that clamp to it.

Very very tight with these tires but consequently so much cleaner (less mud) AND cleaner (invisible, doesn't alter the bike aesthetics).

There is two problems with them and the CAAD10 Disc.
1. No hole in the brake bridge
2. No holes in the fork crown at all
Managed to mount 37mm Spencer Omega full guards with rear light bracket-style mounts on the fork and seatstays, cable ties on the rear brake bridge and near the BB. Finally, used a small patch of Pattex No More Nails-tape in the fork crown. Image of the final result coming up. Works a charm!
Use SKS Raceblades which are easily removable, just a couple of rubber ties. Been on for about 6 months with no issues.
They do not provide as much protection as full guards, the front on covers wheel behind the fork and rear from the brake bridge backwards.
Would recommend them though.

Not sure if it helps someone looking, the PDWs have holes in them for zip ties if you don't have holes in the frame at the bridge or fork crown.
