Re: [RBW] Thunder Burt Wisdom...

2015-06-08 Thread Hugh Smitham 
Yes off road is ok. Not with thunder burt's but I had Big Ben's measuring
approximately 53mm and mud was an issue. But the TB's on my rims measure
~47mm so more clearance.  If your planning on riding through a lot of mud
perhaps ditch the fenders. Though I've seen fender-less rigs brought down
by mud.

Also I could see where riding through a lot of debris might be a problem,
with sticks getting caught between tire & fender. I've had it happen on my
Hilsen & fenders with much tighter clearance. When it happened the SKS
fenders have a break-away safety front fender. Clear the obstruction and
re-seat the fender stays and yer rolling.

Hope this helps.

Tail winds,

~Hugh

I have a 26" Atlantis and pretty sure the SKS P65 fenders with 2.1 TB's.
Tons of room! Here's proof.

I've since cleaned up the fender line.

~Hugh
Anyone tried to fit fenders with these tires? Specifically the 26".
Wondering if SKS P65 will fit or if I should get club on MTB fenders?

They wear pretty good. The middle raised square ridges wear down moderately
fast, outside knobs stay good longer and are usable for a while. Puncture
protection isn't the best, as they're pretty thin. I have some tubeless
29ers I'll rig up eventually.

I have them in 27.5. Very fast on road, and as noted in the other thread,
just enough side knobs to give you some cornering traction on dirt. Love
