Surly LHT and Vbrakes

Considering buying a LHT for commuting. I'm wanting to put some vbrakes (probably Cane Creeks) and am wondering if they would fit with fenders? Is there going to be enough crossover clearance for the cable above the fenders?

I don't think it would be a problem. Not a LHT, but I run Vs with P45 fenders and 35mm tires on my Surly Cross Check and have so much clearance between fender and cable it makes me dizzy looking into the void ;)

I run Shimano LX V-brakes and SKS fenders, and have used tire sizes varying from 28x700 through to 38x700 on my LHT with plenty of room to spare. You won't have a problem.
