fantastic all round tires (surprisingly good on asphalt too). 2.1 to 2.25"

with a listing of fenders and tire sizes.
It also shows the original idea of fender size being 40% greater than tire
size, so a 38mm tire requires a 53.2mm fender. a 50 mm fender is 31.5%
wider than 38mm

Do not know since I've only used SKS P45's with 700Cx32 and 27"x1-1/4". I
would assume the Homjo's are similar from the appearance. The ratio of
tire to fender (38/51) is 76% which is higher than Jan H typically
recommends (can't remember off hand, but I recall 60% being ideal) but

Aha—hadn’t seen that, thanks. I wonder how the Honjos vary from SKS terms of
capaciousness.

I’ve run both 42mm and 48mm Shikoros on my 61cm Toyo, with fenders. 48mm is
somewhat tight but I’ve had no issues with it.

The Compass site shows a 700C 50/51mm Honjo fender (H47/H50) accommodates a
max tire size of 38mm.

Paul:
I had 45 mm Schwalbe Marathons on my '03 Atlantis with fenders. Don't
recall the fender size but it was picked because it was the widest one that
would fit the bike.
