I got my T800 new from Silverdale Cyclery, Bremerton, WA. and the boss, Mr Brumsickle, had already fitted my requested SKS fenders with the original Cannondale rack in place with no extra fittings. Then awkward me turns up with his "English" rear rack (that fits his English panniers!) and 5 minutes later, the other rack was on, no problem. My bike is a "small" so I wonder if that makes any difference?
