The only potential difference I can imagine is if my brake calipers are different from your ORC2 and have less clearance. Do you know what calipers are on yours (my bicycle foo is not adequate to recognize the year model of your OCR2, so I worry that looking it up might yield an erroneous result)? Also, what size tires are you running? I recently put in some 28s (Serfas Secas) on mine.

Full fenders my main bicycle would definitely be damn nice. That Cypress is heavy and slow!

I am running 700x25c tires, however it looks like 700x28 might be possible, but I have not tried them yet. My bike is a 2007, here are a couple of closeups of my brakes and fenders. Sorry for the quality, the camera has a hard time getting real close to the bike, plus I just got back from a ride so they are a little dirty. I forget what brand of brakes came on the bike, I can look it up for you still need it.
