I've been using an M-18 with the 42 cm struts (cut to length) for 10 years now. The struts cross the outside of your fork, and the rack/fender bosses on your dropouts are recessed inward. Spacers are needed between the dropout boss and the bottom end of the strut to stand the struts off the fork. Otherwise, tightening the M5s squeeze the struts into your fork and bow them out. The Bridgestone rack spacers that Rivendell sells are perfect for this spot: https://www.rivbike.com/collections/racks/products/rack-hardware-thick-washer-spacer-each
