Does anyone have first hand experience with fitting fenders in their Hilsen? I was hoping for 700x50mm Stainless Berthouds but as I need to oder them from EU I was hoping to see if anyone has tried it first. Or another fender combo work well? I have the R559s but I will switch brakes if I have to!

P.S. First Riv since I bought a Rambo off this list many years ago

My AHH is an older Toyo frame and it fits 52mm fenders no problem. No need for dimpling or anything. I would think the fenders you have in mind would work very well.

My 2019 Homer fit Velo Orange Zeppelin 52 fenders no problem.

It had 559 brakes as well, but it was a 650b tire size.

I have a Waterford AHH with 50mm Berthoud fenders, 42mm Tufo Gravel Speedero tires, and Paul Racer brakes. It’s a tight squeeze but it works.
