Justin,
I don't think you can unless you got creative. I can do a modified front fender
as Paul gives about 1/2 in of vertical clearance. The Tektro 559 I have on the
back will be harder with about less than 1/4 in of vertical clearance. I will
most likely try to cut the rear fender up, and try

Can you fit fenders with SBHills?

My Sam is recent, purchased in May. Blue 51.
The geo chart for my Sam gives 53 as the space between chainstay crimps. With
Surly Knards, I see at least 3-4mm on either side, maybe more.
The Maxxis Pace supposedly* fits a bit smaller than listed width, at least on
something like my 19mm inner-wi
Phil,
Interesting indeed. My wife's Sam is a 52, I take it yours was from after
the size change? Perhaps some minor changes were made that increased the
clearance. If the clearance has changed, the vintage of the Sam that Zach
is thinking of may be significant.

Ted, interesting.
I just recently had the newest Sam sage green with Paul Racers. Able to fit
Rock N Roads with SKS fenders in the rear no problem. Had to modify the
front fender to fit. Of course, I don't have it anymore and swapped to
Cheviot and San Marcos.

If you insist, but I just looked at my wife's Sam with FattyRumpkins and it
sure looks like there is more space between the rear tire and the brake
than there is between the tire and the chainstays.

I can't remember the tire clearance the Sam frame had. But both the Sam and
Cheviot tire clearance is limited by the brakes.

The charts may be a bit suspect as clearance for some models has changed
over time, but according to the RBW geometry charts the Cheviot's max tire
is 5mm larger than the Sam's. Though the brakes may be the same the
tightest spot for tire clearance is often the chainstays and I think the

zach, let me take some pictures to make sure. but the front with paul
racers probably has about 3mm or so on each side. probably 2mm on each side
for tektro 559s.
fenders will definitely not fit unless you modified them somehow or used
raceblade types.

Philip,
How much room would you say you have with those Switchbacks?
Surlyprof,
I'd love if they made 650B Smart Sam's in 45. As it is, I would prefer
something just a bit bigger than the R'n'Rs, if I can.

During the summer I change the commuter wheels on the canti-Hillborne over
to 45 Smart Sams. They are a blast to ride. Bouncy! A couple of caveats:
(1) no fenders... that's probably obvious and (2) they rub on the Pletscher
double kickstand when I lean hard on the pedals. There was enough

Zach, switched my Hillborne and got a Cheviot which i believe have the same
clearances. Currently riding Switchback Hills and it fits. The Paul racer
up front has a little more than the Tektro 559's I have in the back.
Would also like to know if something like Smart Sams can fit.Otherwise, I
