The front mounted ok,but I had to mount it without the plastic safety clips. With the clips in place,the struts wouldn't make it around the curve of the fork blades(this was also true for the SKS's I put on my Trek;had to use the clips on the rear of that one). But when I mounted the rear,I didn't like how far it stood off from the tire. I tried mounting to both sets of rear eyelets,with and without the clips,and still wasn't satisfied. So I put the rear Freddy on. It sat closer to the tire,and was wider to boot.

I thought it might look funny having a front fender with dual struts and a rear fender with singles,but given the bike's polished frame and black highlights,it turned out ok.
