Yep I will. I just offered it up really to get it right. Will take it off tomorrow and Dremel the stays but all good. Should be able to bring it down one and still get guards on. Any recommendations on guards for 41mm tyres? I guess that's a different thread...
I have 60mm Gilles Berthoud over some 42mm Marathon Supremes, good coverage and you can tie the front of the guard into the underside of the rack too (if you care).
Can't you just lower it a hole at the bracket around the wheel axle?
