Howdy folks. My Xtra (got a cheap used one) is going on an even cheaper, kinda beat 700C "hybrid". It looks like the my 38ish mm tires have reasonable clearance without a fender. That said, I don't see why it wouldn't be fine to get a baseball bat (or large piece of PVC pipe, something largish and cylindrical) and put a largish round dent in that back cross piece. This is done to chain stays all the time, so I can't see any reason not to try it. The paint might not even be damaged much and that would make it so pretty much any rear tire would fit, although maybe not the biggest 29ers...
