  I've found the rear mudguards of Velo Orange to be quite short, at least in the pictures.

  Gilles Berthoud are really nice bang for buck, have nothing bad to say about them.

  Honjo seems like the ultimate quality, but probably not worth the premium you're paying.

  Recommended chain length for SRAM 1x11 is big/big and add 4 links

  Or depending on how many teeth your chainring has, small/big.

  32mm tyres on old school normal width rims?

  Define old school normal width?

  I say chuck them on there. 23mm is rubbish. Worst that can happen is you have to change them back.

  Engine brakes are systems in large trucks that use the engine's power to slow down the vehicle. These systems are more effective at slowing heavy vehicles than traditional friction brakes, but they can be very loud. Many municipalities ban engine braking near residential areas.
