It's not ok not to attach here, but it is ok to attach by any means at your 
disposal. WWGD says a cork is the ideal spacer for that spot.

Re: [RBW] Help with fenders

[Denise Granger]

thanks for this - awesome! Yes I was referring to the straddle hanger and the 
brake cable that runs through it - with a shorter trim on the cable and end cap 
I think it might work as is. I Really appreciate all this info - I’ll let you 
know once I’ve got this all finalized. D

[RBW] Help with fenders

[nemomom123]

I just bought a set of SIMWORKS Honjo 62mm fenders for my Joe Appaloosa - 
they did not come with any instructions and the parts tags were in 
Japanese. While I have watched one (the only one I could find) video 
regarding the installation which looks pretty extensive, I do have some 
questions if someone has experience with these. Here goes . . .

1. Drilling the tiny holes for the hardware in aluminum - does that require 
a special bit? and what would be the best approach to get a clean drill 
hole result? 
2. I have tektro cantilever brakes CR720 on the bike and the brake cable 
tip rubs on the fender when I put it over the wheel. I don't have much room 
to cut shorter - and really am 
new to the cantilever brake system even though i recently replaced the 
cable hardware as it had rusted. I can lengthen the arch wire so that the 
brake cable wire may go higher - not sure but wanted to ask before I tore 
it apart again.
3. I'm also looking at the Paul brakes as a replacement but couldn't find 
any substantive video on whether these would be ok with the fenders - the 
cantilever touring brakes - any thoughts on this as well would be 
appreciated.

Guess that's it - hope this works in getting out there. Thanks, D
