Which 700C fenders fit Mafac Racers?

[Lee Chae]

Hey everyone. I'm thinking about adding some 700C Honjo fenders to a bike outfitted with Mafac Racer brakes. Does anyone know for sure what width fenders will fit through them?

Thanks all!

I don't know about Honjos, but I'm running 40mm Berthouds under a set of Racers. There is a couple of mm on either side of the fender, at the pivots.

Essentially a perfect fit.

I have a set of Planet Bike plastic fenders running with Mafac Racers. They fit my 700x32 tires with a little space to spare. No problem with brake clearance at all.

I'm running a set of 41mm fluted Honjo's with my Mafac Racers. Plenty of room and a good fit overall. I just searched for them and I'm not sure they're still being made...

FYI: I run 700C x 28mm Continental 4000s on this bike. I tried to run some 30mm (32's) Grand Bois Cypress but they were just too tight.

I was running 700c honjos with mafacs and 28mm ruff n tuffys with no problems whatsoever.

here's the brake spec page  http://ruedatropical.com/2009/01/mafac-dia-compe-paul-centerpull-brake-specs/  

I'm running Weinmann CPs, which are as wide as and slightly greater reach than the Pauls, but with 43mm fluted Honjos and 32mm tires, it looks like I could put a fender over the fender.  If you have the long-reach Racers, I think you could do the same.  With short-reach Racers, I think you'd be limited to 40mm fenders and 28mm tires.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I do have the long reach Racers. I was thinking I may try to squeeze these into them:

The fluted top may help out, with the only trouble spots being the width between the brake bolts.

Best,

and a good price to come with all the hardware.
