Not to hijack Bill's thread, but I thought this was interesting. Same B65 fenders on my Clem.
First of all, I hadn't noticed or considered it until reading this discussion, but sure enough - the chain did in fact rub on the fender in the lowest two gears. What's interesting is that I was able to fix it by adding just a small notch. The *rest* of the fender could be retained because it fits easily between the longer stays, at its full width. And look how much more spacer the Clem requires, compared to the Appaloosa! I strongly suspect that its just a matter of time before long chainstays, like those on the Appalossa, look completely normal to all of us. After staring at the Clem all winter, I already think traditional short chainstays look kind of funny. And that's without even having ridden the Clem yet...
