Quick question: I've fitted SKS Bluemels to a frame with traditional horizontal dropouts. Is there a neat way to tuck the rear mudguard tighter to the wheel at the chainstay bridge, whilst giving you a chance of getting the wheel off on the roadside? I'd thought of using a longer bolt and rubber washer between the bridge and mudguard, but that'd trap the wheel in the dropout.
I've used a longer bolt with a small spring between the bridge and the mudguard. The spring gives you a bit of room to push the mudguard forward when taking the wheel out.
