totally an aside, but my cross frame upright has no bosses of any kind and discovered the need last weekend for fenders in our El Nino spring (we're way overdue for a rainy year). Looking at quick-release options, I found SKS Raceblade XL for half price at left land sports (plus I had joined before and managed to turn off the email barrage). $35. For my need, this was a no-brainer, running Strada Biancas - about 32mm. These are shortened fenders - not full coverage - though they effectively protect everything except the front derailleur. I was delighted with how easily these install and adjust. Both the look and the coverage is better than any other snap on fenders.
