Nice Backwoods! I have a '94 that I tried to fit Planet Bike ATB fenders on last weekend.

Can I ask how you mounted yours? Kinda new at all this. Thanks!
I had a piece of metal about 3/4" inch that I drilled holes in both ends and just used an extra nut/bolt/washer. Probably gave me a little less than an extra 1/2". The cables still rub the fender a little but it doesn't seem to affect braking, not that I use the back brake a lot anyway.
Edit - it was even more ghetto than that. I think I used the metal piece on a different bike. I actually just zip tied it on, lol. No problems so far.
