I use the same brand on my Sedona, and mine didn't come "noseless" like that.
Yes, I did. I was considering ordering some reach around brackets from River City but just decided to cut off the nose. You'll notice that I rotated them back. I dremeled off the front brake bolt tab and used the same trick as I did on the back.

Harder to see in this picture, but there's a black ziptie around the front brake bolt.



You get a little spray off the front, but 95% of the muck seems to come off the lower wheel towards your feet and bottom bracket. It's a compromise, but I can live with it.
