It's a 58 and P45 fenders. As mentioned above, I put pieces of urethane at the contact points. With the paint protected, I feel the squeeze may reduce any rattling. Happy enough with the result. PS: In the process, I realized I probably could have added a few more washers (or cork) movin

Kevin, What size Blue Sam frame is yours? I have a Blue 52 and the P45 Longboard fenders do not touch the chainstays. Are the fenders in your pics Longboards? They look more like the regular SKS fenders. If you want P45 Longboards, they may fit better, as they fit mine without touching the sta
