Thanks, very good suggestion about modifying the PDW tabs. Will take a
closer look at them and compare their ID with my stays' OD. One possible
complication is that the leftside front fender stay is bent to fit under
the disc caliper which might compromise fit of the plastic bracket. I'll

Patrick, to your QR question, I've run fenders over knobbies on my Ritchey
Outback (clearance ranging from ~ 15 to 20mm depending on the fender/tire

Another data point…..I’m running 700 X50mm (actual measurement is 48/49mm width) SOMA Cazaderos with VO fluted 63mm fenders on my 60cm Appaloosa. All is fine clearance wise as long as I don’t mud up…☺️Mike in Fair Oaks, CASent from my iPhoneOn Jan 30, 2024, at 7:41 AM, Steve wrote:Not a direct co

63mm VO Fluted fenders on my Platypus. The stated max tire size is 48mm
with fenders. I have the smooth RH Hatcher Pass (48mm) on Velocity Dyads
(so they measure closer to 45mm but greater diameter). I switched to knobby
Seems like a similar question to the fenders off road (with smooth tires)

I've got no knobby tires as of yet. I've ridden both my Rambouillet and
Coast rando off road and only find the front mudflap an issue. I use two
small bulldog binder clips to affix the flaps (with th
