Thanks for the update - I've been following with interest. My custom Fitz built around the G-One Speeds and canti brakes is almost finished, so it's going to need fenders (and wide rims) pretty soon.
Good to see people are running the Cliffhanger and Atlas rims with those tires. I'm leaning towards the Simworks flat fenders, but I have a funky set of pink Cascadias covered in stickers, from the old Gravel Roadster that ran Big Apples.
