[RBW] Re: Fendering a Quickbeam

[christian poppell]

Thanks everybody!

I've got a set of VO smooths kicking around that I'm not using, I might put 
those on. Going to need new stays though as I had them on my 650b bike.

Yes, I believe my longboards are 45mm also.  It would be nice to have a little 
more space between tire and fender, but this my city bike, and it has worked 
quite well.

If you need help setting it up, we could set them up in my work stand. I’m in

SKS, yes. Probably the 45s, not sure on the longboards.

I use SKS P45 fenders over 700x38 tires on my plastic (CF) cyclocross
bike.  But, I recommend a wider fender if your frame has the space.  Mine
does not; it was designed around the P45 over 700 x 33 tires, or 700 x 38
tires without fenders.  I run 700 x 38 Challenge Gravel Grinders and roll
the dice.

One recommendation for ANY fender installation: use quick-release tabs
front and rear.  It could save your bacon if/when you pick up a stick.

I second Phil’s answer, and because of it caught up with your question. Here is 
my QB with 44 Snowqualmie under fenders. Worked fine, though the fenders should 
have been broader for better coverage, and the clearences are more snug than 
I’d like.

And here it is, same fenders with Steilacooms.

and

Note that knobbies and fenders are noiser.

My Quickbeam has 52mm Velo Orange Zeppelins, and 38mm Voyageur Hypers. I 
would say the Quickbeam is easily fenderable with 38s. 

I just did a big fender refurbishment, after replacing the rear mount, and 
re-installing the front rack. 
Here is a dark set of pictures from last 
night: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdsVxA_Ff4p 

I have my fenders pinched to drop between the chainstays for about 6 inches 
of below-the-stay chain coverage. That restricts maximum clearance there a 
bit. If you don't do that, you should be fine. I don't know how much the 
Steilacoom knobbies stick out, though. I've often run a gap at the back, 
for ease of removing the wheel or changing the gear, but I set it up with a 
decent fenderline this time.
