Not enough space with P45 and 700c 32mm tires on blue Ram for my tastes. I was thinking of trying my Honjo H50 wiith 700 x 32c and see if the high arched Honjos offer enough room for safe tire passage. Width would definitely be wide enough. Height is the challenge. I always use fender nuts.

I have Honjo H50 fenders (for 32-38 tires per Compass' website) on my Rambouillet with 700x32 Stampede Pass Els. I did switch brakes and replace the OEM Shimano "longer reach" calipers with some Paul Racers. It all works well.
