Thanks for those links. I am very familiar with 559 and 622 wheel sizes. What I meant to ask is: with a 35 mm 622 wheel measuring roughly 27 1/2" in diameter, and a 559 X 32 mm wheel measuring roughly 25" in diameter -- so that there is fully a 2 1/2" difference -- will the Longboard P45s be in any manner adaptable to the latter?
Riv's website copy says that they will be adaptable. I ask: have any of you actually installed SKS Longboard P 45 fenders, as advertised by Rivendell, on anything that can in any way be truthfully described as a "twenty six inch wheel"? If so, I'd be very grateful for details.
