Pudge, why are they skeptical?? is it a fender efficacy question or a tire 
clearance one?

I have the Planet Bike Cascadia ALX 29 Medium fenders in 65mm width on my 
Salsa Marrakesh.  These are their newer fenders, which are made from 
Aluminum.   I also have the Velo Orange fenders, but find these easier to 
install.

Re: [RBW] Fenders for 700c Hunqapillar

2016-11-11 Thread Allingham II, Thomas J. (Retired Partner) 
On my Atlantis, I use the 60mm Berthouds over Schwalbe Marathon Supremes 
nominal 50mm that measure pretty true.  I think there's adequate clearance 
(especially because the fender profile is pretty flat -- that is, the cross 
section arc is pretty flat), but others on the list with whom I've ridden and 
whose judgment I respect are more skeptical (Minh from DC, for one). But I and 
others ridden that bike a lot on roads and trails and have never had an issue 
with that fender/tire combo.  There are pics on my Flickrstream that give some 
indication of the clearance, in this album:

I've not used either of these specific fenders, but I have installed numerous

That said, if I were putting them on a bike that didn't have to go on a roof

Would love to hear how they work out if you try 'em! My 700c Hunq is currently

I have a set of VO 63mm silver fenders I'd sell cheap. I used them with
Smart Sams 2.1 w/o issues. Very solid mounts.

The widest fenders I'm aware of are these 60mm from Berthoud:
http://store.biketouringnews.com/gilles-berthoud-stainless-fenders-700c-x-60mm/
And these 63mm from VO:
http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/fenders/700c/vo-fluted-63mm-fenders-700c.html

Both listings say they should work with 50mm tires.

I've not used either of these specific fenders, but I have installed
numerous pairs of VO's other fenders and have been happy with them.

That said, if I were putting them on a bike that didn't have to go on a

Would love to hear how they work out if you try 'em! My 700c Hunq is

Hello, 
I am going on LA>SF tour this January, and I want to explore my fender 
options before it's too late. I will be using 50mm tires and it seems like 
one rule of thumb people use is to use a fender that's 10mm wider than the 
tire size. So, in my case, I want a 60mm wide fender according to this 
rule. What options are available for me? I don't want to use the sks/esge 
options. I want something nicer, along the lines of Honjo and Berthoud. 

700x50 seems the widest Berthoud offering, and the wider Honjo's seem 650b
