Good to know. I'd be transferring my 45mm hybrid/touring Cascadia fenders over to the new frame, so I'd probably be in the same boat as you with your SKSs. I suppose I could live w/ tight clearance for a little while. Besides, I run 35s right now, but was planning on getting some 32s for my next set of tires anyway, so my planned tire size change sounds like it would definitely be a good idea if I pick up the Nashbar frame.
