Hey Patch! I think 38's with fenders are pretty much max on the QB. Some 40's run a little small so that may be doable. But for NYC, 38's are really perfect. I rode compass Barlow Pass 38's on my orange QB with SKS fenders and it was the perfect pairing for that frame. I could not run my Soma Supple Vitesse 700x42's with the SKS fenders as they were installed without rubbing...perhaps I could've really worked on the fender line and pinched plastic here and there...but didn't seem right for the frame. As others have mentioned ...the alu. fenders make it harder to get the wheel out without deflating or to adjust the gearing if you''re gonna do that. The SKS can be manipulated pretty easily. I ran Bruce Gordon RnR's on mine for awhile, which are 700x43, but of course without fenders. Here's pic with SKS and 38's Jason S.
