thinking about putting SKS bluemels 700c x 53mm mudguards on my arkose D3. pretty sure these will fit the stock configuration (i.e. with 700c x 45mm tyres)
1. would I have any issues with these if I (in future) I got 650b wheels with 50mm tyres?
2. would they look silly (e.g. like rees-mogg in one of his oversize suits) if I put 700c x 32mm tyres on?

They won't fit unless you have a Dremel and patience. You'll have to do some fettling whatever the mudguard over 45c, they're just too wide
1.- different circumference, will look daft. Also too wide.
2.- Tiny tires would look ridiculous in 53 mudguards.

I've got 26" 60mm mudguards that didn't clear the balloonbike tyres I had. Now I want to see how stupid they look over skinnyass Kojaks. Should be the ugliest bike out there...
