'Tis the Rainy season

I am looking for some full coverage fenders to put on my 06 Windsor fixed gear frame. I don't like the clip-ons as the last one I had broke after a couple times. I had a bridgestone that was set up for touring and I used Planet Bike Hardcore Fenders 700c on them. Right now I'm looking at the SKS P35 Fenders 700c fenders. I know they should be a close fit, but I don't know how to know that these fenders will fit my bike. I have a front brake on my bike as well. Will I need long reach callipers now? Any suggestions?

Those look like the same SKS fenders I have on my Trek 520. Never had any problem with the brakes and fender combo. From my personal experience though (keep in mind, I'm not the "most" mechanically inclined), I found them a bit of a pain to install. Once installed though, they've given me no issues. And they're good fenders.

I have those, yes a bit of a pain to install, but once on they stay, and you stay dry.
