Hi Mike, I put the Paul Racers on my Bleriot to maximize tire/fender clearance. With the Hetres I have gobs of room for fenders. I was even able to install some fenders with the Schwalbe Fatties (45mm actual), but I wouldn't really recommend it. For the last 3 years I had SKS P50 (or P55?) fenders on there (w/ the Hetres). No problems. I recently installed SKS longboards. I really prefer the length/coverage of the longboards, but they are borderline too narrow for the Hetres, IMO. I get a fair amount of rubbing, but I'm going to ride and tweak them for a few months before making a final call. Here's a pic<http://www.flickr.com/photos/jayburkhalter/6103960457/in/set-72157627572132424/>showing clearance with the Schwalbe fatties. Great brakes!
