Hi Kurt, I'm looking to do just the same. I've had great success running 60-622 Big Apples mounted on Dyads, with SKS 65s, on my Bombadil as a commuter set up (for the jungles of Oakland and San Francisco). But I am now running 60-622 G-Ones on the wider Cliffhangers (tubeless! Uh oh...), and have delayed mounting fenders this season as I've been on the same search. The tire clearance of these two combinations are equivalent (not measured with calipers, just an eyeball on the gaps at the chainstays/yoke and the fork blades and crown), so I'd bet the SKS fenders would work with some minor manipulation. I, however, like to tweak and change things up (one bike, many builds) and have come across the SimWorks Flat 65s by Honjo.
https://www.sim.works/collections/fenders-simworks-by-honjo/products/flat-65?variant=5250514812957 They come in black too. I imagine they might need to be trimmed/notched to fit between the blades (time to get a dremmel?). I'm about to pull the trigger, but will employ the talent of Omar @ Allrounder in E'ville to do the mounting, as it'll be a job that reaches just beyond my tinkering confidence. Just getting the ball rolling here (need to place the order), but I'll post whether or not success is achieved.
