I run Honjo 45mm fenders with the Hetres on a Saluki/AHH (same clearance of Bleriot) and it works fine for the mixed terrain riding I do. That said, another 3mm of clearance would be nice. If clearance is a serious concern, the Pari-Moto may be a good alternative. Another issue of particular concern to the Tektro R556 (Silver) brakes: they will provide enough clearance while riding such a large tire/fender combo, though when the Q/R is opened for wheel removal, the fender will interfere with the caliper arm opening fully and so getting an inflated tire out will no longer be an option. Most centerpull brakes alleviate that issue. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thingsofdotnature/4537857930/ John McMurry Burlington, VT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

My 61cm bleriot has hetres and VO 52mm zeppelin fenders. The clearance is minimal though I've had no issues. I do have to deflate my tires to get them out of the brakes (sidepulls) as stated above. These are a couple of photos that I have; the second is probably the closest photo I have to showing the fender-tire-brake-fork area. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3396/3507349029_56b48aa56e_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3363/3507349289_d094870578_b.jpg The combo is perfectly functional and looks great but I'm not sure I'd recommend it because of the tight clearance (which sometimes causes me to worry about tire rub or objects getting wedged). If the Pari-motos are even a couple of millimeters smaller, I think I'd go with those instead. Then again, I haven't been super happy with my hetres like others have been which may be why I'm less enthusiastic about this particular combo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
