1-2cm clearance all around sounds like plenty of room. Are you using
new-ish tires? New tires seem a bit more tacky and can pick up pebbles and
small rocks. After using them for a while, the rocks-in-fenders have
diminished.

Couple hundred miles I would guess on these Hetres. I thought about that too.
Though I have the 1cm clearance fender to tire, the stay eyelet nuts are still
only 2-3 mm from tire. The lock washer and flat washer on them take up about a
mm of space I would guess.

FWIW, my Hetres seem very adept at picking stuff up. Monsieur Blériot’s rear
tire (worn enough to have lost most of the molded tread ribs) snagged both of
these items in the same ride on Sunday. The straight piece I’m holding in a
gloved hand went through the sidewall and caused a flat; the
heavy gauge wire is the second-worst hazard on the road - the only thing
worse is a y-shaped stick that will plant itself firm and impale your tire
as you roll over it.
Both of these are reasons to carry fold-up spares.

Thanks Shoji. I appreciate it.
Another lister reported 35.5 mm.
My Hetres at 55psi are about 36mm tall from the rim. So the height is not much
different which surprises me. I would have thought the smaller tire would have
less height so maybe I need to use my Cyprii for max clearance.

Peter, you are correct, and I'm not aware that anyone is accusing him of

I’ve been to Seattle and ridden there. The roads don’t *seem* to be magically
free of debris, but that’s the only way to explain Jan’s run of good luck. The
GBs are nice tires—I really like them—but in my experience they are just as
prone to flatting as anything else out there. Maybe more.
