Beautiful bike, Patrick.
Metal fenders have a rolled lip, which is about 4 mm thick, so the side
clearance will typically be 8 mm less than the top. Typically, for metal
fenders you want something that is specked at least 18 mm larger than the
biggest tire you will use. Plastic fenders, for a
Likewise insignificant, but last weekend I just got my first ever puncture
in a belted tire - a nail in my TG Pasela.
Now that I've jinxed myself.

Thanks; I may eventually go to plastic or wood fenders. It has been a
frustrating two days!
At least now, with no fenders, the Kojaks seem to roll very well!
Phillip: please post a photo of your IGH'd, disk'd and non-be-fender'd bike.

Just wanted to give an initial review of these tires. I've had them on
my Bleriot for about a week now. I ride about 90% gravel and 10% road.
I could not be happier with how these tires perform. They roll smooth
and quick just like the other GB tires. I was a little concerned with

Phil: both of those bikes are Rivendellian in general outlook if not
in execution. With that Kona fork you could get any fender you like in
there, even an old VW fender.

I like not moving my wheel too much so it doesn't interfere with the

hoped when the wheel is moved from one extreme to t'other.

Bruce and Patrick, thanks for the recs and links. Patrick, with your

Hi all,
Just a quick question for ideas, i'm in the process of swapping out my
Nitto Mini front for a Nitto Big Front. One of the things i really
liked about the Mini was the boss on the underside to pin the front
fender to for that extra tire clearance. On my Big Front there isn't
a boss, has a

will wait until it is more mature before spending that much on tubes or
putting them on a winter bike.

Eric: should you decide to give up on yours and sell, I will be
interested if they are the 1.35s, of course.
The benefit over the Marathons (from what I've read, since I've not
