Currently it’s 30mm front (Schwab g-one speed) and 32mm rear (conti 4 seasons) it will clear 32 front too, but there’s been a degree of bodging to get that clearance.
The fenders are PDW, the 37s I think. I used the axle tabs that come with the fenders, as the frame doesn’t currently have fender mounts. This is fine on the front with QR but the rear ones were a massive PITA as they were too narrow to clear the PW rear hub bolts so I had to drill them out. I also had to zip tie the rear brake bridge to get some extra clearance.
I’ve had this setup for about 3 years and it been great, bit of a pain if you get a flat but you get used to it.
The bikes approach 50k miles and I’ve promised it a re-Ferb next summer. New paint some fender mounts, more bottles bosses mid fork rake mount.
