Note, I get fenders over BAs on 26" LHT which has more clearance than the 700c version.

One other thing, my driveway is pea gravel which is just a hellacious surface, but the BAs pretty much float over it so that is another plus for them. I remember trying to burrow through that crap w/ higher pressure 1.5" Michelin Transworld Cities and it was not pretty.
