Thanks for the feedback. I've been running Soma Supple Vitesse in a 42 and they clear fine without fenders on Belgiums. I tried to mount some Big Bens for fun and the front was fine but the rear didn't work. I think a 38-40 is the sweet spot for the QB. I'm debating throwing my SKS fenders back on and with those I used to run 35 Marathon Supremes or some 32 Gravel King slicks.
