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 have to w

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 combo) with and without QRs. After bending a front fender stay with a jammed stick I took the hint and added a pair of Portland Design Works Sa

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

I'm not sure if this answers the question but perhaps it will help. I run 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) question and maxims. 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
