Sorry, got delayed again, by surprise company and then went straight to bed, here's the pictures!

Okay, not the best pictures! It was dark, windy, and rainy yesterday, and I never seem to be able to get enough light or a decent background for taking photos in the apartment, but hopefully this will partially illustrate the Woody's fenders.

I say "partially" as after gaining experience installing several more sets of fenders since mounting these, if I needed them closer to the tire like you do, or wanted them closer for aesthetic reasons, I'd cut down a wine cork as a spacer for where the front of the rear fender attaches, and this would allow me to bring the rest of the fender closer to the tire through the stays. I don't see any reason why these fenders couldn't be as close to the tire as any other fenders.







So, not the best example, because those aren't as close as they could be. You could run them closer to the tire gaining more room for the rack, I'm almost positive you'd have enough room for both on your bike. BTW, that is the rear rack that came with that years (2011?) Novara Safari. Although the bike didn't come equipped with disc brakes that year, previous years had, and they didn't change the spec other than going to v-brakes. It not only has disc hubbed wheels, but the frame is unchanged with all the extra metal tabbing for discbrake routing/mounting and the rear rack is clearly designed with extra clearance for disc brakes, which all contributes to this bike feeling very heavy for no benefit!


Sorry for the huge size of the pictures, I don't know what is going on there, I usually don't have that problem and didn't do anything different this time!
