I'm thinking of getting one of these, but can find no info on the max fender size. Can anyone tell me about the largest width fender you've squeezed onto one of these? Thanks!
Thanks, Volsung. I'm really serious about this model, but it will depend on a few things, money being one of them this winter. Covid-19 could thwart my plans in the near future.
But enough of that. I should have been more explicit in my OP. I am hoping to fit 55mm fenders for 700c tires, and 60mm fenders for my 650b road+ tires.
I called Lynskey yesterday, and they promised a phone call on Monday from a tech that was out on Friday but will know the answers. Of course I would still like to hear from another rider/owner that has actually fit fenders this big.
Not to derail the topic too much, but can you show the front of your bike, and how the light is mounted? Also, what front bag is that? Thanks
I'll take a pic tomorrow if I remember. Its a Swift Polaris bag (comfortably fits a laptop flat) and an older plastic Busch und Müller mount on my Rawland Demiporteur rack. Pretty nice setup and easy to take everything off when going inside.

Are these the Planet Bike Cascadia ALX 700x50 fenders? Do they have enough side coverage with the 700x48 tires? Your set up looks amazing and giving my some ideas when my LBS is done building up my GR300.
They *might* clear a 48, but wouldn't provide a ton of coverage. Safely/effectively they can clear small 44s (Byways are like 42/43 if memory serves).
Been taking measurements because I may order Simworks Smooth 62s. Cascadia fenders are 15mm deep, so not a lot of wrap around and the 50mm is closer to the bridges. The Simworks are 28mm deep so they sit lower where there's a lot more clearance.
