David, Chiming in on your exchange with Steve regarding using Honjos and Hetres on a Hilsen (the Triple H). In my opinion, the critical thing that Steve's Saluki had that your bike does not have is cantilever brakes. The place where you will have the biggest clearance problem is through

Thanks, Bill. I thought that might be part of the clearance issue. Wonder if switching to the Dia Comp center pulls would improve the situation and find another home for the Tektro 559s? David On May 7, 2013, at 2:18 PM, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: David, Chiming in on your

To add to what Grant said: I use 60 mm 700c Berthoud fenders with 60 mm Big Apples and there are no clearance issues whatsoever—in fact I still spaced the fenders away from the frame—because the frame has so much tyre clearance. Having said that, the fenders are only just wide enough to cover

Seth- Haven't used them personally, but Berthoud makes 700x60s in stainless steel (http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/fenders.asp). Note that the 700x50s I had several years ago were disappointing. The front fender wasn't any longer than Planet Bike plastics and required a huge mudflap. Best, joe

Another option is the VO Zeppelins, http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/fenders/fender-sets/vo-polished-52mm-zeppelin-fenders-700c.html I used them with 700 x 47 Schwalbe Marathons (about 44 mm actual) on a Cross-Check, worked pretty well. On Monday, May 6, 2013 10:05:49 AM

Steve, As the Saluki dimensions are similar if not the same as my Homer, should the Honjos, hammered or fluted work with 42mm Hetres with my 56cm 650B Homer? Maybe with a bit of trimming? Thanks. David On May 6, 2013, at 11:05 AM, Steve Palincsar palin...@his.com wrote: On Mon, 2013-05-06 at
