Thanks, Doug. The situation is doubtful, alas. The present Monocog takes the 3" WTB Rangers with ~3mm to spare between stays at rear, but then the tires are mounted on 24 mm OW Alex rims; I'm sure that on 35mm+ rims they'd expand to full 3" plumpness, and one goal is new, wide rims and a frame to match; no need for fenders, but at least 5 mm between tire and stay. Oh, and also, no substitutes, 700C.
