Thanks again, Julian. For the Kelpies, I plan (God willing) to have Chauncey braze on aftermarket strut bosses some-way up the fork legs, both so that the trailing part of the fender moves away from the tire if it should be caught and dragged up toward the crown, and also so that the trailing part of the fender might be more laterally rigid -- this because, with 3" of toe overlap, I occasionally kick the rear end of the fender quite hard. With the considerable rake, attaching the struts above the curve will require shorter struts than for the present attachments at the dropouts.
But I may well buy a pair for the VO fenders on the new Matthews pavement bike.
