That depend on the model. My blue Ram took 1.35” — 32 mm actual — tires under fenders. Close fit but entirely acceptable; no rubbing or other problems. 29 mm Paris Roubaix tires had very ample clearance. Patrick Moore iPhone > On Oct 18, 2022, at 1:10 PM, RICHARD BORNEMAN wrote: > >  I have

I'm firmly in Joe's camp. I use Challenge Paris Roubaix tires on my Rambouillet. They are labelled 27mm but measure 29.5mm. My fenders are Berthoud carbon fiber, only 25mm wide, but then this is my good weather bike. I would not recommend anything wider than these tires with any fender on the Ramb

I have 700x28 tires under my fenders. Tried Jack Brown 33’s but too tight. I think 28’s are the biggest tire that will fit with fenders. Richard Sent from my iPhone On Oct 18, 2022, at 2:10 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: Jon, You would probably need wider fenders for 33.3 and I'm not comfortable rec

Jon, You would probably need wider fenders for 33.3 and I'm not comfortable recommending it. These frames weren't designed for a fender/tire combination like that and the minimal clearance is begging for a bike-stopping branch to get stuck in there. On Tuesday, October 18, 2022 at 5:17:52 A
