Joel,
I have no idea what size tire you're contemplating on this project,
but it may not be necessary to use a spring device. I was able to
achieve a nice fender line on my Rivendell Road Standard (which has
the horizontal dropouts that your project bike also has) by using a
nylon spacer. With th

On the Schwalbe site there is a comments forum, and one of the posters
begs Schwalbe to make a 55, because the 50 is too skinny and the 60

True. However, my other two bikes have tires 50mm and 60mm wide. So
these are positively skinny for that type of riding.
Yes, the rail-trails are great. Ended up purchasing a season pass to
take advantage of them. (Next on the list, lower half of Gandy Dancer
trail.)

I believe the 60s will fit without fenders and the 50s will fit with
fenders.

Here we go. Just took the installed photo (if I had to do it again I
would put the rough, cut end of the cork towards the fender).
The bolts, I believe, are long bolts that SKS provides for the fork
crown; the clip and other metal bits are also standard SKS hardware.
I recall that I had to drill
Yeah, I saw those and got quite excited, but they are still too big, I

I'll take a picture today (thought I had one) and post it.
I used the "spring clip" that came with the fenders, but spaced it out
from the fender and inch or so with the cork spacers. It required two
longer bolts and cutting and drilling the corks.
Sorry for the delay, just got home from a short
Well, sure--that's just the sort of stuff these bikes were designed for! The
railtrails in Wisconsin are great, aren't they? Had a blast riding them on the
Saluki a couple of summers ago...
