[RBW] Re: Anybody running 50mm Berthoud fenders on a Saluki?
Doug, I put these fenders on my 50cm Saluki two years ago and they still look nice. They are stainless steel so they won't rust but they will scratch and dent. The mounting hardware is of a good quality. There are a few tricks to getting Berthoud fenders to fit--I have the Mitsuboshi Trimline tires and another set of wheels with the Col de la Vies. There are two widths. You have to get the wider size to fit around the tires and you have to dispense with the spacer at the front fork. You have to plan and measure and dill your own holes in the fenders for the mounting hardware carefully. I got some help from a local bike shop. Good luck.

I was planning on the Velo-Orange 52mm Zeppelins, which apparently fit and will clear a Fatty Rumpkin or Hetre. Alas, they are and have been out of stock for quite a while. I am sure the 50mm Berthouds would be great with Col de la Vies, but might be just a bit narrow for the 40+mm tires. Anybody know?

I can't speak for the 650b's, but the 700c 50mm Berthoud's on my QB clear 37c Pasela's very nicely. Rugged and good looking, to boot. Nice hardware. -br On Dec 12, 3:22 pm, Doug Van Cleve dvancl...@gmail.com wrote: Howdy folks. I want to put some nice fenders on my dad's Saluki.

50mm won't work with Hetres. I tried on my Bleriot.
