And in this fork, it _really_ worked, I mean with flying colors. There's a big ol' nut under the crown holding the fender on, and the daruma bolt didn't even have to be sawed shorter to clear the tire or anything. On some other bikes (Nishiki, Holdsworth), it's so tight up in there that I have to use a recessed nut or an Aheadset starnut shoved up inside the steerer. Great success!



Like this:


A simple flat spot to help the fender sit level on the underside of the fork crown, even though it's going through at an angle. I usually do it with a hammer and a wood block.
