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...
