hey all,

any ideas for a simple minded person like me to figure out whether some fenders i have are for 650B, 26" or 700c. i only have 700c wheels with skinny tires and they seem to arc smoothly along them but given the radius it may well be that they are for the smaller wheels with fatter tires. as they are old and have no markings other than 65 (width?) i have all but given up trying to figure their intended size.

they are hammered along the centre with lines running aside but i dont think they are Honjo or Lefol's i have seen posted.

thanks
