I have the Planet bike fenders on my Hillborne now and while they would clear.. it was really close. I may try some Longboards. I don't like running tires super close as the tires often pick up rocks and sticks etc. and grind them through the fenders. I mounted my new Creme 700x35 Delta Cruisers and they seem fine. I'll be posting a photo soon with my attempt at two color bar tape.
