"Perfect" for some values of "perfect," perhaps -- but far from ideal. 58mm provides more room and better wrap-around coverage. I think the biggest advantage of 50mm fenders is that they'll fit between the chain stays without any need for special modifications to the stays or the fenders. I had to cut the 58mm fenders to get them to fit between the chain stays on my Saluki: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97916...@n00/sets/72157617915097787/show/ but the coverage over the tires is much better than you'd get from a 50mm fender. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
