I think that's a good idea too!. I'll try it. You are definitely
visualizing the problem anyway. Meanwhile, you bring up a question
I've had:
I don't want to "complain" at all. I'm not unhappy. But, being a
distant mail-order-only customer, I have no personal relationship with
Rivendell. What do Grant and the crew think about getting unsolicited
"feedback?"
I think they'd better like it, because they're getting plenty of it here
and if they didn't I think we'd have heard about it by now.
I have this image in my mind that they get random complaints and
"suggestions" all the time from armchair bike designers, and I don't
want to be one of 'those guys.'
This doesn't fall into that class at all. This is a case of "Hey, the
way you made that thing makes it damned hard for me to put fenders on
the bike. Hard to believe that was intentional, was there a screw-up
somewhere?" That's not a "random suggestion from an armchair designer."
It does seem like something that should be addressed on future batches
or future bikes though. (Along with reversing the bottom napkin ring
???
and whatever other little glitches are discovered.) On the other
hand, I always got the feeling that this particular bike was intended,
as much as anything, as a way to use up some lugs and parts that
didn't get used elsewhere, and as an experiment with maxing-out the
new chainstays - but that it wasn't going to be around indefinitely.
If that's the case, its hardly worth sweating such minor details.
It's always worth sweating the details.

Dear Keith,
A set of four (two pair) of the concave/convex washers sold with
v-brake pads would sort that issue, one on either side of the
fender. The best solution would have been for that threaded boss
to have been oriented to the axis of the hub, I.e. rotating the
boss fifteen degrees or so. Complain, and they'll fix it on the
next batch. Or not.
I think we already did that for him... :-)
(complain, I mean)
