I had a Pletscher Clem rack on my Clementine 59cm with the SKS P65 fenders and the narrow gap between the tops of the rear rack stays interfered with the rear fender. I could get the either the rack or the fender lined up correctly (well... the way I want them), but not both. I finally gave up, got the fenders lined up correctly and installed a Topeak Explorer rack. Much better all around and much easier installation. Attaching the Clem rack is unnecessarily complicated with multiple points of adjustment that really don't add any useful flexibility in my opinion. The flip-up bar on the forward end of my rack was also quite crooked. Overall poor design and manufacture. I won't buy another Pletscher product. YMMV.
