I understand the Saluki and Homer have similar 'issues' with Hetres and fenders. I'm switching to Dia Comp 750 center pulls from the silver side pulls as it looks like that will give me a little more clearance. I've picked up the brakes but haven't got a chance to put them on. Still conflicted about trying hammered Honjos or VO Zeppelins but the price difference is certainly pointing one way. David
