Niche question perhaps but... which Gilles Berthoud mudguards for a 26 x 1 1/4 (aka 597) wheel on a raleigh lenton?
GB do them in radii of "26"" (presumably talking about 559s), "650b" and "700c" and I want minimum of gappage so am loathe to go full whack 700c unless I really have to.
Bearing in mind that the 597 rim is slightly closer in size to 650b than 700c, I'm tempted to go for 650b size, but am slightly worried the radius won't quite be big enough, so want to avoid the faff of returning them...
