Same setup (P45 behind the fork crown, on 650b wheels), same result: long
flap too close to the ground.
Mine was excellent at scooping up leaves, which then made a racket in the
fender.
I replaced it with the shorty flap from Riv

Or, you could trim it
Just mounted by P45 to rear of fork crown.
This brought the flap obviously too close to ground.
Cut about 1/2 off. Now three fingers from the ground. Is this too close? Will
it result in it being a stick scooper?
Next step is probably just remove the flap.
How close to the ground is yours?
