Does the front guard fit onto the tube if you have cables on the bottom outside of the tube?

It will fit but doesnt look particularly elegant. If you do decide to fit one, do as i did and fit some cable donuts to prevent the cable rubbing or being pushed against anything.
Yes, it does on mine. there are 2 sets of holes that the rubber fittings can go through. This should let you fit the guard without intruding on the cables too much.

There is no problem with that. Even if cables are touching the mudguard there is no noticable difference in shifting performance.
I got these mudguards for my Specialized bike. The rear mudguard clips around the seatpost and comes with several rubber seals of different thicknesses. The front one comes with some rubber bands to fasten around the down tube, I replaced these with cable ties to make it more secure. Anyway, I am more than sure that these will fit your bike.
You should have no problem fitting the rear, however the front could potentially be more tricky, depending on whether your cables run down the downtube as these could get it the way of the mudguard
It will fit almost any bike. The front guard guard comes with an elasticated attachment that fits around the frame and the rear mud guard connects to your seat post. It comes with various parts to enablenit to fit to seat posts of different thicknesses.
Yes they will. I have a set of these and there are not many bikes they will not fit. Consider also the Topeak Defender guards. Unlike the Crud products the front guard fits directly into the underside of the steerer tube and has a very effective QR bracket. Having used both products i prefer the Topeak model,it has a little more flex and tends to keep it's looks better for longer(Crud products,i have found scratch very easily). Hope this helps!
I'm wondering about the fitment of the front guard. The bolts on the underside of my downtube (which I assume are the place this mounts) are very close to where the downtube meets the seat tube. Is this a problem? Would it render this type of mudguard largely useless?

The front mudguard attaches using two rubber loops, not the bolts, so you can pretty much fit it anywhere on the downtube - just remove the allen bolts from the frame if they are in the way.
