Pfadfinder pfolks… I’m building mine up with two wheelsets, a road set with 28 tyres and a gravel set with 35 tyres. The road set will be for wet autumn/winter riding so will be what I mostly ride, accordingly I want to set the frame up with guards - looking at pdw 37mm guards.
I’ve never had a gravel/off-road specific wheelset before but I’m guessing they’ll be better to be used without guards due to the likelihood of them getting full up of dirt/leaf crud etc? Or do I ignore the plan of buying 37mm guards and go for the 45mm pdw guards so as to cover both wheelsets? That being said, I don’t know that the frame clearances will tolerate the 45mm guards…
