Hello,

Does anyone know if the SKS B65 fender is (or ever was) available in 650B size?
Or do people just use the 28" version?

(the SKS B65 is the fender that Rivendell recommend for tyres around 55mm)

Thanks,

Johnny in Belgium

I've only ever seen that model in the nominal 700c size, which Riv lists as for 700 or 650. I have an old set of SKS that came on a Bombadil 650b and fit great, I'm pretty sure they're the model you're looking at.

Hi Johnny,
Not SKS and not sure available in Belgium, but the Planet Bike Alux have a wide fender in 650B.  I used them over 584x54 Thunderburts. I like them very much. Solid and quiet.
Hope you find a solution.

Thanks, Tom. Planet Bike looks like a great initiative. TBH if I can't find the SKS in the right size, I'll probably cough up for some 650B Gilles Berthoud inox fenders.
I have a 26" set and they are very nice and also very effective.

Cheers,
Johnny
