Found a photo. Not sure if you can zoom in tight enough to see the modified
mounting bracket.

The sks fenders with the 40s were a little bit of a tough fit but I was able to
get decent clearance. As I mentioned, I had to elongate the mounting hole
almost down to the fender. I also had to bend it over like they showed on one
of the Riv videos. That was the only way I could slam them fl
Hey Chris - did your mechanic try to fit the Velo Orange Zeppelin or the
Honjo fenders? And is your Sam the one with caliper brakes?
Thanks!

unless I was considering a long trip, through puncturous land, i would
probably opt for a different tire. There are some really nice ones in the
40mm range that will make your sam feel excellent. I also am of the belief
that most rivs should ever wear a tire less than 40mm. but that's just me.
I also bought those fenders for my new (at the time) Sam and had those
tires. My mechanic who is very good by the way, could not get them to
fit. I had to end up putting them on a Cheviot that I own with no
problems. My Sam remains without fenders which actually I am ok with.

I am looking to get fenders for my Sam. I am running 650bx42 Gran Bois
tires.
I am partial to the hammered Honjo's 650bx58 but have a hard time imagining
they will fit the modern Sam (with the long-reach caliper brakes instead of
the trusty ol' canti's). Has anyone managed to fit the Honjo 650
Two concerns: Tire height and tire width.
*Tire Width:*
RBW says that the P45 Longboard fits tires up to 45m wide.
*Tire Height:*
You have to think about the *height* of the tire and being able to have
enough clearance to sandwich the fender and brake arms between the top of
the tire and bott
The reasons to pick the 40s are:
more comfy, more durable, more traction, more safety, no slower
The reasons to pick the 35s are:
you are a gram-counter and want the lighter ones or you are forced to 35s
because the 40s won't fit

double-check with riv but many schwalbes come in undersize relative to the
label, my 35's actually measure 33, i think the 40/42 supremes come in
around 37. if you have the space (and on my hillborne with 48m steel
fenders i can handle a 37) then i suggest as much tire as possible.

Thanks for all your thoughts everyone. I've been convinced to stay with the
700c wheels that it was designed for.
Now as to my other question, 40mm Supremes vs 35mm Supremes? Any reason to
pick one over the other?

Good one, Steve, and excellent point.
If you decide that you don't mind the fact that you can't equip your bike
with brakes in 1) then you could work around the too low BB in 2) by
running too short cranks. Best of all, run no cranks or BB at all, since
you'll probably want your feet on the

You can not run 650B wheels on a 700C Sam Hillborne. The reasons are
threefold
1. Reach. The brake clearance on a 700C Hillborne is dialed for a long
reach sidepull brake. A 650B would require ~20mm more reach than an
already long reach brake. There are no good >90mm reach brake calipers.
You can fit 650b wheels on any 700c bike, but some 700c bikes won't
fit 650b tires. This isn't an issue for Mark's Sam, but it's worth
noting for 650b conversions in general. If your frame has tight
clearances with 25mm 700c tires, currently-available 650b tires will be
very tight. If 23mm 7
You can fit 650B wheels on any 700C bike. The question is which brakes to
use. The Sam uses sidepull brakes. Ask Riv what the reach is for a 650B
rim on a 56 Sam. Silver sidepulls reach to 75mm; Dia Compe/Weinmann
centerpulls reach to 78mm. If the reach is more than that, then you may be

I've ridden Supreme 40's under my Atlantis Longboards daily for almost two
