Thanks for the encouragement. I'm not particularly handy, but I'm willing to try this out. If you look at the three bolts pictured on the rear hub area in this photo, which would be the one to which I would attach the "extender" piece? Notice the big ol' disc brake thing on the other side of the hub.

Here is the Tubus QR extender, but it seems to be designed for a very thin QR axle, which I can't use on my bike because it has the Alfine internal hub.

No matter which way you go, I'm sure you can use the same eyelets for both rack and fenders. My Specialized only has one set of eyelets in the back and they hold my SKS fenders and cheap Wal-Mart rack wonderfully.
However you go about it, The Topeak SuperTourist racks are pretty nice and real fenders are the only way to go in my opinion. Let those DIY skills lose and make it happen.
