Yep. I have about a millimeter of clearance on my 50 cm Synapse Feminine, maybe two. Definitely not enough for fenders IAE. (Not that this is a fender-prone bike, but youknowwhuddimean.

)
I learned not to pedal through corners the
other hard way... by sticking a pedal in a corner and translating 21 mph forward motion into who knows how fast straight up in the air, turning upside down and landing on my (helmeted) head, out cold for way too long for my training partner's comfort. Won't try that again.
