The Nitto M12 (& its sister M13) don't have provisions for adjustment but are still easy to install -- cantilever brakes only however. > [....] i can't figure out how people with > metal fenders can keep the swaying down without securing the fender at > the front edge. the daruma in the fork crown always has some slippage > for me. For the best performance and long life metal fenders *need* support at the front edge. It's much more secure & robust that way. If you can't attach the fender to a front rack then an additional stay can be used. There's a reason the French did it that way. Not saying you can't get away with no support forward of the fork crown, but the fender isn't fully supported without it. FWIW I bought a VO "constructeur" front rack a couple years ago and gave up on it before I even started to try to fit it to a bike. Anyone who goes through the work to fit one of those up definitely has my respect. I'm Nitto M-12s on all my front-racked bikes...
