How is yours proportioned?

56cm seat tube, 58.5cm top tube.

Regarding the R559: did you had to file them down or even open the tabs?

Not sure what you mean. I did have to drill a hole in the mono stay, as the mudguard hole at the back isn't through and through. And I changed the caliper bolt to a longer one, so I could put a nut onto it (since you can't recess the hole for a recessed nut, as the seat tube is in the way to be able to drill it).

what is the maximum tire width with your current setup?

I recon 650b x 47c will fit. Haven't tried it (yet) though. Currently running 42c with 51mm guards.

measured a 26.2 diameter seatpost. Correct?

I've got a 26.4mm in there.

Good luck with the Muddy Fox; those plans sound good! Would be cool to see some pictures.
