Please could someone measure the external width of these please?

I'm thinking they are 46mm internal, so 40mm tyre is ok.

But my rear stays are 47mm at narrowest point across...

I seem to have good vertical clearance from tyres, but I'm only on 37mm tyres at present.

I would rather not have to bend or cut them to fit. That said, has anyone..?

Mine are 47ish mm external. Tight fit between the seatstays so I just put a little self amalgamating tape on the contact points and pushed them in. Just enough flex so that nothing is overstressed and the bonus is, such a snug fit doesn't rattle.

I have 46’s with Panaracer SK 35mm, wouldn’t want to go much wider.

I'm running the edge 46 with a Schwalbe 38mm allrounds. The only spot where clearance is limited is where the stay bends in to fit under the guard. Outside would have worked better, but obviously look worse.
