Hugh: On the Atlantis, I could have mounted to the canti bosses, but the Paul cantis (any variety, whether Touring or Neo-Retros) require a special mounting bolt (you can't use the Nitto bolts that work on most other brakes), and I didn't have them, and I was (as always) in a hurry to finish the build for a trip. I think (but don't know for sure)that you could mount the rack you're going to use onto the canti bosses on your Atlantis, even if you are going to use Paul brakes, as long as you have the Paul mounting bolt. Link here: http://www.paulcomp.com/rackadapter.html By the way, I am using Paul Neo-Retros on the Stumpy, so I will take some close-ups tonight.
On my Atlantis, I'm running 50mm Marathon Supremes with the flattish 60mm Berthoud Stainless Steel fenders from Peter White. Because the fenders have a flattish profile, they fit, but it's a bit tight. Minh has remarked after he saw the bike on the GAP Riv Rally East 2012 ride that he'd be uncomfortable with the clearance. I'm ok with it, but he's right that you certainly couldn't get any bigger tire in there with a fender. If you wanted to be safer on the clearance and were willing to sacrifice a little coverage (you guys don't get much in the way of downpours, right?), you could use flat profile Woody's fenders. I have a set on my Quickbeam, and I like them quite a bit.

Tom, never mind I see the "p" clamps on the Atlantis. So if I understand the hardware that came with the rack were the short stays meant to attach at the canti bosses with double threaded studs (not included with rack) and longer stays? The long one's are meant for mid fork braze on's which on the Atlantis didn't work as the Paul canti's were in the way. Is there a reason you didn't use the double stud or are the Paul's a different beast and require a Paul specific bolt? And I've heard that the longer stays need to be purchased separately. The Stumpjumper I see you mounted to the canti bosses and it appears your not using Paul's on that bike so it must be a Paul thing. Interestingly I am planning on using Paul Tour Canti's on my Atlantis. Another question. What if you know is the largest tire and fender combo that can be run safely on the Atlantis? You mentioned to Minh that you had fenders but the clearance was tight. What was the combo?

I have the former on my Stumpjumper, here with Paul cantis, which require the Paul bolts for rack mounting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/9785981285/sizes/o/in/set-72157635815847045/ I used to have the latter on my Atlantis, but the Paul Neo-Retros on that bike made it impossible to use the brazeons - I had to use P-clamps.
