I use the P50s on my 56 Hillborne with canti brakes. I might have room for a P55, and had considered it, but it would be tight. May even be tighter if I was using sidepulls. When I called Riv, Mark suggested the P50. He said it would fit any 40 width tire. I had to bend the mounting bracket as they suggest in the video and I also had to grind the opening slot further down to get the fender as high up as possible. That leaves room for 40s with a nice fender line. I often hear gravel rattled up through during my commute and have even knocked out the quick release when I picked up a stick once (it snapped right back in). If I go to 42-45 knobbies this summer, I'll take the fenders off.
