Wow, what an old thread. :) So old one of the links points to my long dead QB page on att.net. My QB photos are on Flickr now (https://www.flickr.com/photos/14612032@N00/albums/72157711338025308/page1), and I'm not even sure my old green one (RIP) is in that album, but I did run 44 Mutanoraptors without any issues. I use mostly 38s now after a series of recurrent flats on 32s.
I have run the 38s with old planet bike fenders, but the setup with a three speed drivetrain was awkward. I'm thinking maybe SKS speedrocker detachable fenders, which I'm using with good effect with 38s on my Specialized Diverge.
