[RBW] Re: Best 700c X FAT fenders?
Patrick, I run 60mm Berthoud Fenders with my Atlantis and there's
still a good amount of room for 28x50 mm Fat Franks.
When the Fat Franks wear down enough (sometime in the next 4 years) or
I get bored (at a whim) I intend to mount 60mm tires and expect no
problems at all.

In terms of sturdiness, I can vouch for the PBs by way of cutting them in
half, drilling multiple holes, then riveting together to form 4 inch wide
fenders! This is certainly not an original technique of mine but rather one
employed by several of us fat bike owners that desire the use of fenders.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best 700c X FAT fenders?
Thanks for the photos and description, Amit. Good to know that I have
at least a couple of options. I'm rather leaning toward the PB
Cascadias right now as much for aesthetics (or lack thereof: the Fargo
has black racks, black stem and black seatpost) but I will take a
closer look at the B's before I decide.

[RBW] Re: Best 700c X FAT fenders?
A number of years back I had Berthouds on a 700c Atlantis with Big
Apples for shoes. Can't remember what the width was on the Berthouds
but it was a nice combo.
