And bgilchrist may want to extend the front fender, too.
The piece I grafted on is part of the Planet bike mountain bike fender set. I didn't like the front fender or I broke it...a little of both...so I cut part of it off. The bottom is shaped to jammed down in the chainstays since this bike doesn't have a chainstay bridge. To get maximum clearance, I threaded the zip tie through the hole so that just the head is behind the fender. On the other side, I zipped another tie to the first one and cut them off close to the head. Works great.

For the front fender I got an SKS mountain bike fender. A bit better coverage than the Planet bike.
