Whoo, from my Flickr account back in 2010? (Here?:

Yeah, the Paselas were real snug; if the air pressure wasn't just right,
it'd scuff on the inside of the fenders on any surface that wasn't glassy
smooth. I initially switched down to Ruffy Tuffys (28/29's). For awhile, I
would run a Pasela on one end, and the RuffyTuffy on the other,
differential tire sizing. Something around a 30 would be doable on both
ends. The Compass Chinook tire might be a great choice as it's a 28, or
perhaps the GB Cypres, as it runs closer to a 30. Don't know how the
Compass Stampede would compare to the Paselas I was running. Conversely, I
could've tried other fenders, might have had more success. I wanted to
stick w/ my metals ones, but if I'd gone to SKS or something else, might've
been had a bit easier time of sticking w/ the 32's.
FWIW, I ended up converting to 650b, so I could run Hetres, and I'm much
happier; but I wouldn't necessarily 'suggest' that someone do that, as it
was more work (building a different wheelset, swapping calipers), it would
be easier just to run a smaller tire.
