When I first put the SKS on over the NeoMotos, I actually could look across the top of the tire still, but yes, it got closer as it passes under the v-brake's quick-release... I've since brought the fender line in a bit from some of its earlier photos (one labeled "fendered"), to make it a more uniform curve. I've maximized the amount of clearance, putting the top of the fender right up under the Motolite's quick-release. I can insert a finger in between the fender and the top of the tire, but I've not measured what the actual clearance is; I'll try to do that soon (don't know that it'll be tonight). [Busy week, and, I've misplaced my calipers, have yet to figure out where I've stuck 'em.. but can measure it in other ways...] Now, anytime I say anything about my fenders and the Neos, I feel that I need to make a disclaimer; I cannot recommend to anyone to run knobbies under fenders... I've not had any problems with mine, but, I have to say, these newer diaga-Bombadils have a lot more clearance than most any other one out there. I keep meaning to pull the Neos and put the TourRides back on, but I just keep not doing it... I really like the Neo's, but, I don't need them for daily wear, and, they're not the lightest tire out there either... I'll report back w/ numbers, and put up some more pics... (You can a bit better look here, but not quite as close as you're wanting to see at the brakes, though): http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/7501897362/sizes/k/in/photostream/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
