28mm tires with planet bike cascadia fenders on a wabi?
Can anyone tell me if there is enough clearance for 28mm tires and fenders on a wabi classic?

Your cog is slipping.
I bet Richard at Wabi could.

The reason your Crud Mk2's don't fit, is because they are designed for a 700 x 25 maximum tire size...
you need 4 mm clearance

From what Richard told me, it is the new version with bigger clearance but doesn't have the hidden fender mounts.

Thank you guys for the heads up on Wabi Classic tire sizing. I have a new Classic frameset with fender bosses that I have not built up yet. I was originally planning to use 25c tires along with some SKS fenders, and I may use that set up for "winter" commuting. My current plan is to "hopefully" be able to run Continental Contact 2 700 x 32 without fenders. I use these tires on a geared commuter and they are awesome tires; a bit heavy but very durable and dependable. Now I better check for radial clearance!

And I'm guessin that since one of the guys in the other thread said he had a problem w/ getting the 700x32 tires to clear, the planet bike 35mm cascadia def won't clear. I guess it depends which way it needs clearance- vertically or horizontally, and i guess it might vary tiire to tire. Hopefully I'll be able to make it fit.
