I have Planet Bike 60s on my Big Apple shod Monocog 29er, and there is no
problem except shake thanks to flimsy stays. No rattling, either, but then
the Monocog has huge clearances even with 60 mm tires and fenders. I'd say
you will be fine as long as you have, say, a cm between fender and tire.

The Zeppelins are pretty nice as well. My first fenders were

Brass, especially as it weathers provides a most interesting
