JPW often uses VOs, which certainly is a relevant data point (to me, anyway).

Subject: [RBW] Re: VO vs Berthoud fenders

I own all three (though my Honjo's are on the shelf), the toe-overlap on the 
fronts are real with the VO.  when i got mine the VO were only single eye 
drilled (at one point i think they were undrilled) so swapping in the Berthoud 
stays meant drilling your own holes.  Now that the VO are pre-drilled with 2 
holes, not sure if they holes would line up, does anyone have experience doing 
this exact combo?

I feel like the berthoud are heavier duty, seem to rattle less (but that could 
be a function of my poor install skills), but i can't complain about the 
durability of the VO, even though i bump them into things all the time!

Personally i'd go with whatever is most important to you, toe-overlap then 
berthoud, but if you want a certain look like hammered, or faceted etc, then 
VO.  Honjo's are great but man they are so crazy expensive!

Any experience or differences? It looks like the Berthoud's are predrilled in 
the same way, for the stays, so you have to add a hole for a rack attachment up 
front and bridge in the rear. I like my 700x50s from VO now, but I always trust 
Peter White's choices in his offerings...
Then when I wear out my Barlow Pass tires I can move up to Snoqualmie Pass or 
their 700x50 offerings when they come out (fictional thus far,don't get too 
excited).

Appreciate any thoughts or experiences,

Edwin
