Yup. I learned that this past weekend when I shifted to my big cog for the first time ever on my Clem. Never needed to until I happened upon some muddy trails. I just picked up a set of P65s for Clementine, so I'll try to just trace the cutout from the P65 onto my B65. SKS fender material is pretty easy to manipulate. I didn't have a drill when I need to make a hole for the brake bridge. Used a small kitchen knife and twirled the point back and forth. Worked just fine. David Chicago
