[RBW] MidWeek S24O

[RBW] Re: Best 700c X FAT fenders?

Patrick, I run 60mm Berthoud Fenders with my Atlantis and there's still a good amount of room for 28x50 mm Fat Franks. When the Fat Franks wear down enough (sometime in the next 4 years) or I get bored (at a whim) I intend to mount 60mm tires and expect no problems at all. Photos: http://www.fli
