I actually think it is the sidepull brake that causes the clearance issue
that I have. Its really not much of an issue as the rub is very light and
does not cause resistance, only a sound that bothers me. I have had someone
tell me that they had the same setup on an Atlantis (Canti) with no issu
The cantis would make a difference in the front, not so much in the rear.

Hmmm. So would the 38 not fit on an orange Sam? And to Scott or Jim, would
there be more clearance if the bike used cantis instead of side pulls?
I have 700x35 supremes with metal fenders and good clearance now, wanted to go
38 at least on the next set.

So it's not just me :-)
I have the same setup with 700 x 38 Duremes. I managed to get it to not
rub rolling straight, but in the turns, the fender isn't stiff enough
laterally to keep from a hint of rub. I can live with it. But there is
not an extra millmeter there, not one.

I use a 38 as my daily commuting tires, and those are cutting it pretty
close on the Sam as well. Weird thing is that the size difference is very
slight between the 38 and the 47, at least to my eyes. I got zero rubbing
with the 47s while the bike was just on the stand. Real world? Yeah, there
I had to remove my longboards from my AHH because they did not quite work
with the 700X38 Schwalbe Marathons. Technically they fit but there was just
enough of a rub to be really annoying to me. I could not adjust them out
enough. Those look pretty close on your Sam. Do they roll without rubbing
That's the newer Hillborne. Which does fit larger tires. The first
generation is good for 40. Pretty sure a 45 would not work out. Not so
much the fork at the chainstays.
If I remember correctly, Jim Thill at Hiawatha Cyclery installed a set of
WTB 700x45s on a orange Hillborne.
Glad to
I like the barrel adjuster. Ya never know when you might need to squirt a
bit of Sheldon's Fender Nut Grease in there. ;-)

I have the older 700x47's (the non Green Guards) on my Trucker and
enjoy the confidence they inspire when riding over crummy roads. It
just takes the stress out of my ride when I roll with those tires.
Glad to see they fit a frame with side pull brakes. I wondered about
that actually as I like the
thats so tight it might be safer than a the bit of space between my Hetres
an VO Zeppelins on my Hilsen. You went for almost Atlantis esque tires on
a Hillborne, good show!

Not terribly revealing, but something anyway. Yes, that's a barrel adjuster
on the back of my Sheldon's Fender Nut. No good reason.
