A local mechanic runs a 650b horizon with a mudguard, I'll take a picture when I go the shop next.
IMHO the front end being a little harsh it's good to go for a bigger volume than the stock 28c tyre. How big is a matter of choice, 1.5'' to 1.75" gives a nice tyre profile that suits me. I have a 32c at the rear on a 29er rim and I don't feel I need anything bigger. I never had an issue with grip, I'm not slow either. Don't overthink it. I might check that Arisun tyre at the Omnium shop though.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Very helpful!
Yes fender space is a concern. If you look here: http://www.nolifelikethislife.com/byexpressen-omniumcargo/
Looks nice and quite functional but no fenders...
I wonder what is the difference between a 650b+ 2.00 wtb and a 700c marathon with max width 1.5 in terms of compromise between speed / confort / stability of load... In you experience with narrow tires such as the one you have, how do you feel the ride is? But yes 700 has much more choice. What do you have in the back and how do feel about it? Thanks again
