I'm looking at the Herse Chinook (28C) for my 2003 Rambouillet. Right now
I'm running 25C with plastic fenders. It look like it could be a little

choice is the Cayuse Pass (26C)

brake
Jon,
Which fenders you choose can make a difference. John's exquisite light blue
Ram uses SKS fenders so there is no rolled edge between the tire and inside
edge of the fender, hence a touch more space. If you go with a Berthoud,
VO, or Honjo you will lose the little bit of wiggle room
John - Did you order this with a custom color? That is a really nice light
blue color you picked! Thanks for the first hand account of tires/rims and
fender setups...added to the other responses and pictures, this gives me a
great first hand view of my options. While I am not a person who
