Widest Slick Tires on Atlantis with Fenders

[Elijah Bernstein-Cooper]

I'd like as wide slick tires as possible with fenders on my Atlantis 55. Would it be possible to fit Rene Herse 55 Antelope Hill tires with SKS 60mm  or Velo Orange 63mm fenders? 

Any other recommendations for wide tires? Or for fenders?

Is your Atlantis MIT or earlier? What wheel size? Lots of different possibilities based on those.

I have had 45mm Schwalbes on my 58cm 700c Toyo Atlantis with fenders & had clearance but 55 would a "maybe" on mine, esp with fenders.

I think my Atlantis was built in 2014 or so. I have run it with 50mm Schwalbe Mondials, which are hardly slicks, under SKS fenders (53mm outside edge to edge). The Mondials actually measured about 47mm on my rims. There was not enough clearance on the back with a BG rack installed. I probably could’ve changed the mounting of the rack to provide needed clearance had I been so motivated.

They are expensive, but I would opt for the Simworks 74mm fenders for 55mm tires. If it's the latest version Atlantis with the same fork crown as my Clem H, these big fenders should fit.  The Flat 65 would also work, though I don't like the look as much personally.

Following up on Jason's post, I haveRH Antelope Hill with Simworks 74 mm fenders on my MIT Atlantis.  Clearance sufficient but close.  The fenders had to be squished a tad at the fork to fit well.  Happy to answer any questions.

Thanks all. I just ordered the latest model of Atlantis, size 55, fitting 700c wheels. Those Simworks fenders sure are expensive! Good to know it all fits on the Atlantis. I suppose the Simworks smooth 62mm would not provide enough clearance correct?

Another question, what brakes do y'all use with this wide-tire + fender setup? I plan on using a rear rack and panniers.

I use Paul Motolites.
