This bike just has the standard SKS fenders. Single pivot brakes, like my Suntour Superbe have more fender clearance than dual pivot because they sit a little higher. The JB's fit under the fender OK, but not with a bunch of space. The real issue is the horizontal dropouts, which make getting the rear tire on a bit of a push, but once in place they're fine. The horizontal dropouts require leaving extra space and on one occasion Pat sucked up a pine cone into that space which quickly broke the fender. I've see (pictures) of fender installations with a spring up against the chain stay bridge, but I don't think that would work with JBs. A 30mm tire would work though. Michael
