To add to what Grant said: I use 60 mm 700c Berthoud fenders with 60 mm Big
Apples and there are no clearance issues whatsoever—in fact I still spaced
the fenders away from the frame—because the frame has so much tyre
clearance. Having said that, the fenders are only just wide enough to cover

I can't comment on that, but the idea has occurred to me.

Thanks, Bill. I thought that might be part of the clearance issue.
Wonder if switching to the Dia Comp center pulls would improve the situation
and find another home for the Tektro 559s?

Chiming in on your exchange with Steve regarding using Honjos and Hetres on
a Hilsen (the Triple "H").
In my opinion, the critical thing that Steve's Saluki had that your bike
does not have is cantilever brakes. The place where you will have the
biggest clearance problem is through t
Steve, can you post a pic of your front rack/light set-up? Looks great!

As the Saluki dimensions are similar if not the same as my Homer, should the
Honjos, hammered or fluted work with 42mm Hetres with my 56cm 650B Homer?
Maybe with a bit of trimming?
Thanks.

Another option is the VO Zeppelins,

I used them with 700 x 47 Schwalbe Marathons (about 44 mm actual) on a
Cross-Check, worked pretty well.

I too have the 60mm stainless steel Berthouds on big 700c tires (50mm Marathon
Supremes on my Atlantis). They work great - I wouldn't want anything bigger
under them, but at 42mm you should be in great shape. They're very high
quality construction and coverage, too.

Haven't used them personally, but Berthoud makes 700x60s in stainless steel
(http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/fenders.asp). Note that the 700x50s I had
several years ago were disappointing. The front fender wasn't any longer
than Planet Bike plastics and required a huge mudflap.
