Why rivendell doesn't break out the vernier calipers and tell us is beyond
me. But on dads it's 60mm at brake bridge, 59 at the seat stay. And 59 at
the chain stay.  Yes I'm still alive, yes if I owe you something I feel
terrible, reach out to me.

I understand about the clearances at the chain stays.  What about at the 
seatstays/brake bridge??

John,
You don't dent the fenders, you just trim them with a knife or tin snips.  
My SKS P50 longboard are narrow at the stays from the factory, similar to 
the photo below.  It's not so great for keeping things clean in that area, 
but makes simplifies install.

Does the SKS fenders deform slightly if the fender width is slightly 
greater than the distance between the stays?Plastic fenders can't be 
indented.

Roberta, no, but thanks for offering.  I have the same fenders.  There is
plenty of room for the fenders but the tires rub on the stay clips when the
fenders move side-to-side.  I'll keep an eye out for a wider fender or
maybe switch to the SKS 55s.

[RBW] Re: What size fenders on your Platy?

[Roberta]

I’m using the sks p50 with gravel king ss+ tires (43 wide). The fenders are 
just a bit wider than my tires. There’s space between fender and seat stay. 
Would you like me to measure?

I've been running the SKS P50s on my Platy and they work great. I even 
manage to squeeze a 50mm Gravel king in there. I just covers the tire but 
works great. the SKS are nice because they're inexpensive a light. Just 
ordered another pair for my Atlantis.

[JAS]

I have the Velo Orange fenders on my Platy also:  700c Zeppelin Fenders, 
52mm - Silver.  They look great and are essential in the rainy PNW.  My 
vision for the build was to keep it light, thus I'm using narrower tires 
than on my Clem.  I have the super wide B65 SKS fenders on Clem and they've 
been just fine.  They're not as fancy as the Zeppelins, but certainly good 
looking, sturdy and functional.  They clear the 2.0 inch tires (650B) and 
have front safety tabs.

Good luck!

Ha! Yes I was asking because of the sale.  I purchased a gift card on sale 
last year so I get the sale price anyhow.
Leah, I thought you had 650b fenders that were re-radiused?  Or was that 
someone else?
I'm just tired of my 50mm SKS fenders moving around and rubbing on my 42mm 
tires. I prefer  at least 10mm of clearance instead of 8mm.

I *think* I have these Velo Orange fenders on my raspberry 
Platy. 
https://velo-orange.com/collections/fenders/products/vo-fluted-63mm-fenders-700c
 
And, VO is having a sale, so hurry, hurry.

My mermaid Platy has the SKS fenders, same as yours. I have a fondness for 
them because I had SKS on my first Riv, my old Betty Foy. 

Good luck.
