I am looking at Jim Carters catalog, they say the 39 fenders are wider than the 41-46 so you can use wider tires. According to my measurements I can not use a very wide tire with the standard fenders. I am using my stock 41 for the measurements. Dave

Cheers,

When I talked to them they acted like the 39 was the same as the 41-46. Dave
