Here's a closeup of the fender and rack mount. The Rawland front rack doesn't come with a separate tang or integrated bolt like a Nitto. Instead, it's a tab like those used to mount a fender to a rear brake bridge or fork crown with a bolt. If you've mounted fenders before, you know that this tab must often be bent so that it doesn't interfere with the bottom cup of the headset. The Rawland's tab is thick aluminum, and can't be bent, so I used a small spacer between the fork crown and the rack to keep the tab clear of the headset. It's the silver doughnut-looking thing.
