I use the 60mm steel Berthoud fenders. They work very well and have great
coverage. I got them from Wallingford Bikes.

I think they would not work. At least not easily and optimally.
My 45mm Smokes were smaller than 45mm, and I don't think they'd fit

It sounds like you may have a problem with the spindle bearings. I

I'm also not in the size range of a Rodeo (94cm PBH).
It so happens that I do have a Bombadil and a Soma ES just as you are
considering. At the time I got the Smoothie ES, I got it instead of a

So, while I can't really compare the Rodeo and Soma, I can appreciate
