The bolts seemed quite long, and I actually had to use some extra spacers I had lying around to keep the tip of the bolt from hitting my spokes (so I don't think the spacers you'd want are included). They're definitely not bent the way some fender/disc setups seem to be. They do have a nice security release fender stay feature in case something jams in the fender. But yeah, it was a struggle finding fenders. I almost got some fat Electra chrome fenders, but my LBS thought the mounts for Electra-specific.

I just emailed a shop about them to ask if they come with the long bolts and spacers to get 'em around disc calipers (do you remember if yours came with 'em?) I <i>almost</i> clicked "checkout" on the 29's, that's what Sylvie's got, but I'd love to get something that fits tighter for sure. Neat, snowcones!

Works great in the rain, not so much in the snow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/totcycle/3118628096/ I was able to get the fattest SKS chromoplastic fenders (http://www.sks-germany.com/sks.php?l=en&a=product&i=6409800121) to (barely) fit fat franks on my 90’s MTB.
