I've asked before about the minimum fender size you would recommend for 42mm tires and it seems like 10mm of clearance was the consensus.
I looked at Planet Bike's offering for fenders and could only find one that would fit - that was their 29er Fenders at 29"x60mm. Those are pretty big!
Is there another manufacturer you could recommend? I think optimally I could get by with 50mm fenders - I won't ever put larger tires on the Safari but may go down to 35mm eventually.
It seems like most ATB/MB tire fenders are for 26" which doesn't do me much good. I'm sure there's a more touring specific brand out there.
Nothing too hardcore. Riding to the sea and about 30-40 miles roundtrip and tired of the morning mist / runoff water ruining my clothes!
Thank you.
