No, there is no dirt coming from the front wheel. Only during rain
weather my legs come somewhat more wet from on the inside, of drops that
fly sideways from the fender. But it is not something grave.

Since I have big apples (406-50) mounted, the inside of my leg touch the
tire side wall while pedalling, very minimally, and there is no sign off
wear on my pants yet (2000km with big apples now). Because Mike sits
lower, he had more trouble on his bike with touching the tires, so he
made two aluminium plates (if you look at his project picture, then it
is ones with the big holes in) on each side to protect his pants from
wear. May be you might have the same trouble as Mike?
