I know this is most likely a easy question, but I purchased the Schwalbe Marathon XR in a 700x35c size. Currently the REI bike I have is using 700x32c size tires. Will I have any problems putting these on the bike and what about fenders.
thanks for any advise you could offer.

Nice bike. It should take the 35's and large fenders.

When I switched from Bontrager Hardcase 700x32 to Marathon XR 700x35, I had to make an adjustment to the fenders for clearance.
