as good as Compass, may even last longer as tread a smidge thicker I think.
I owned them but don't remember the width (they seemed narrowish to me). The
answer about road levers is uhhh maybe. My wild guess is you could position
them right at the center of the bend and have enough room between blade and
bar.

Can anyone say how wide these are at the curves? And could one use road
levers at the curves? If not too wide, and if I could trim the usual
statutory 2" off each end, perhaps they might work, though they might be a
wee bit *too* close.

Hi Justin,
Yeah, I've no intention of putting the fenders back on with the wider
tires.
Have you run both the Byways and Compass? Do you have a feeling if the
Switchbacks will fit or if I'd need to stick with the Babyshoe's?

I would either go Compass EL if primarily road and light dirt or Byway if it’s
primarily dirt and some road. I don’t think I could fit fenders on with my

My wife is only 5'2" and uses a lowsaddle longflap with the SQR mount for
both commuting and touring. That works well without any rack needed to
support it underneath. I cut a fairly stiff piece of plastic to fit in the
bottom of the bag, which prevents it from sagging onto the mudguard:
