All the pics of FXE with mudguards have the wheel quite far back in the dropouts...is the brake bridge the limiting factor there? Has anyone got an FXE with the rear wheel tight in the dropouts? Quite fancy an FXE but hate the huge gap between seattube and rear wheel!
Think it’s more a case if that’s just where the wheel sits, mudguards or no. There was no conscious thought about positioning the wheel on mine at least. Pretty sure it was in the middle of the drop outs.
Maybe the longer chain stays just give the impression of the wheel being far out
