Yes, sorry. I should have mentioned that my 56 Hilsen is 650B. The largest Hilsen that is 650B. Essentially a Saluki with a different paint job. But yes, I have run 42mm Babyshoe Pass tires under the SKS fenders for years with zero issues. Of course, Mark at Rivendell installed the fenders, and he is a master. If I had put them on, they would probably rub everywhere.
