I have run 38mm Schwalbe Marathon Supreme Duremes under SKS longboards on
my green Quickbeam. I think they were P45s. Given that the widest tire I am
aware of fitting on a Quickbeam (also green) was 44mm, this seems correct.

I have 42 Soma Grand Vitesse on currently. I tried Big Apples once but
couldn't get them to fit. I wonder if clearance is much difference between
colors at all? I have a pair of Snoqualmies from my recently sold Homer
that I will try once the weather gets nicer. In the winter I run 35
Thanks for reviving this thread! I started at the beginning, and when I saw
Clayton’s post, I looked at the date. “A… that makes sense.”
You revised your question to ask about max fender widths.
I run 52mm aluminum Velocity Orange Zeppelins over 38mm RH tires on my 2004
green Quickbeam. The

The majority of people who buy those tabs separately use them on the
front. Note that all Portland Design Works full metal fender offerings

My understanding is that the PDW tabs are to be used on the front wheel if
only using on one wheel for safety reasons. If the rear wheel locks up, it
does not throw you over the handle bars like locking up the front wheel
does.

IIRC when i used the P45, i think i was at around 35-37mm on the tires and
it was tight, fiddly. i've seen someone with one using the flat wood
fenders (fancy i know) and that was a little bit easier due to the profile
of the fenders.

Nice! I do like those silver QBs with the blue decals...and the fender
set-up looks perfect

Wow, what an old thread. :) So old one of the links points to my long
dead QB page on att.net. My QB photos are on Flickr now
(https://www.flickr.com/photos/14612032@N00/albums/72157711338025308/page1),
and I'm not even sure my old green one (RIP) is in that album, but I did
run 44
My experience too, Eric; thanks.
Perhaps the question I should be asking: what's the widest *fender* that
Quickbeamers reliably run without too much heroics in home-surgery fender
modifications? --Will

In my experience (not on a QB) 45mm fenders over 37 or 38mm tires might
work, but it’s very fiddly. A minor bump or misadjustment and something
will rub.
A good rule of thumb is max tire = fender -10mm, so 35mm tires for 45mm
fenders.

Hi all. Revisiting an oldish thread. What's the biggest tire you
Quickbeamers are running with SKS P45 longboard feders? I have an orange
62cm Quickbeam and wanted to try 700x38mm tires with my P45s. It's pretty
clear that the Quickbeam can take 'em. It's less clear if the P45
