I am looking to upgrade my fenders on Xtracycle conversion. It currently has some old Topeak ones that are too snug. Would the SKS at 65mm or PB Cascadia 60mm be better.

I'm not sure on the fenders you mentioned but I can say to avoid the Bike Planet Freddie Fenders on 700c's (I can't tell the size on your bike from this angle.) They rub on my Xtracycle setup.

I'll try to remember to drag the mule outta the stable tonight and take a look, I know the shop managed to fit fenders over the fat franks on ours. I thought they were PB's, but maybe not...

My mistake. They're SKS P65's. :)

Thanks for the replies. I think the Planet Bikes will be fine especially for less money
