Hello, I am immensely relieved to hear that this worked. I had SKS fenders installed on my build at Rivendell (Jared assured me they are quite precise about this installation) and, having researched this, I was glad to know that SKS fenders have the QR feature. I do have the Secu-Clip on the front fender (went directly to the bike garage to check this upon reading these posts and verify), The fronts are close hauled at the rear flap and have more generous spacing as they circle the wheel toward the front.
That being said, and having seen the images on the BLUG, I am now somewhat concerned when I hear anything ride up between fender and wheel. I am almost considering removing the fenders altogether.
