The place that looks tight is not so much the width, but the rear length. It looks like the tire might hit the too long rear bolt that honjo vo use on al fenders. Bertoud fenders definitely offer more front to back clearance. These fenders came to me used and I don't know if the stays have

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

I've seen Hetres on a fendered A Homer Hilson and it fit, but boy did it not have much wiggle room. My comfort zone suggests having a pencil width of space between the tire and the fender, while the Hetre I saw would be lucky to have half a pencil width. I would go with William's suggestion of

Hetres will fit your Saluki front + back just fine. Fenders, on the other hand, can be an issue. VO makes a few sizes ... you'll want to measure yours first to be sure ... look for at last 52mm inside across the span. I use 50mm SS Berthoud's (via Mike Kone's online store) on both a Saluki and
