Steamroller mudguard update. 45mm PDW's do fit but max tyre size i can squeeze on under a Shimano or TRP caliper is a 32c Gravel King SK. Tight though, pretty sure i could hear the tyre stubble catching on the rear. I think you could squeeze on a 35c GKSK on the rear if you ditch the caliper and go fixed but it would be tight.
Definitely prefer the ride on 35's so currently deciding between SS with 32's and easily avoidable overlap or Fixed with 35's and run a Disc trucker fork for more clearance/offset at the front (my cleats are way back and i get foot jam making tight turns with the stock fork).
Bit of a compromise for the effort, anyone doing a Steamroller type thing with front and rear discs and useful mounts? That isn't a £1K All City...
