[RBW] Re: Hillborne show bike
hi charlie, which fenders would not take the 38mm marathon supreme (i'm guessing these are the 42mm labeled ones?), i'm thinking about a pair of supremes and want to make sure i can clear my fenders--eyeballs say yes, but any other data point is useful!

[RBW] Re: Hillborne show bike
I have the Planet bike fenders on my Hillborne now and while they would clear.. it was really close. I may try some Longboards. I don't like running tires super close as the tires often pick up rocks and sticks etc. and grind them through the fenders. I mounted my new Creme 700x35 Delta Cruisers and they seem fine. I'll be posting a photo soon with my attempt at two color bar tape.

I run 40mm tires (Kenda Kwick Roller EZ Ride) under 52mm VO Zeppelin fenders on a 56cm Sam. Plenty of room under the fenders.

[RBW] Re: Hillborne show bike
Thanks Andy.I may have to get some new Longboards or some metal fenders but yea.got a itch for Creme tires so we'll see how they roll first. The Supremes are my fav tire for performance and ride qualities (on my Trucker). Using some 32mm Ribmos on the Hillborne now and while nice enough they are just a little narrow for my 260 pounds except on smooth asphalt. Really need a wider cushier tire. The chip- seal roads are annoyingly buzzy at 90 psi.
