I've never run fenders on that bike, but I'd bet that the arms would catch on a fender and limit how far they can swing out. It'd be doable if you didn't mind the dreaded "let the air out of the tire every damn time the wheel comes off" syndrome.
Having to deflate to get the wheel out would be a deal-breaker for me, so I will have to do some testing to see, with my 42 mm tires + fenders. I'll let people know what I find out, for the single-digit number of people who are interested. (And zero is a single-digit number too, I know.) Most likely I will set the posts almost at Raid-spec (75 mm I believe), just a little narrower to improve the miter, not fully as narrow as a Racer or Weinmann et al.

Sorry (not sorry) about the thread hijack, nothing to do with the new RH clanger we're supposed to be talking about.
