>>1146918>not sure how aluminum would be to work witheasy as fuck. my fork and brake with the stock 27x1 1/4" tire size left basically no clearance, and not really other width choices because old-school 27 wheels. here's how I compensated. Just used the stock bits that came with the Dremmel. went right through the alu but the slog was shaving some off and checking the fit over and over.
>>1146916cutting around your stays would probably be really easy if you needed the bigger width fender. dunno what the recommended fender-to-tire-width ratio is, but sounds like Sheldon would know.
