Unfortunately, the shop that built up the frame for me never mentioned this aspect beforehand and simply handed me the fenders from the old bike.
You're doing this wrong too.

p-clips for fenders. and there's plenty of room under the fork crown for 28's and a full fender.
If you really want a rack, then there are still options.
