The AHH has 65mm of brake reach and a fork crown that maximizes that 65mm for fender clearance. (It does so by putting the hole as low as possible in the fork crown, to make sure there's no metal where there could be air). The Silver brake was designed, also, with fenders in mind (wide mouth high up, clears SKS 45mm fenders).
here are always limitations, but those two components in the equation are pretty well thought-out and fender friendly. I think some of the problems may be due to trying to work even beyond the clearance provided---a bike putter-together equivalent of getting greedy, stretching even capacious limits beyond what's possible. There's nothing wrong, of course, with the fenders, either. But we all the time put 40mm tires on bikes with silvers and SKS fenders. I know, plastic, but plastic isn't Satan, and when you combine a plastic (malleable) fender of a good design with the Homer's fork and silver brake, things generally work out well. A fender that's 52mm wide...probably best used with cantilevers or V's or something. Anyway...I understand the frustration. The nature of fatting and fendering a bike always leads to a rub here and there, because you naturally want the most of everything. G On Jan 2, 9:26 am, Pondero <cj.spin...@gmail.com> wrote: > A.
