I am using a 1UP rack this season and my experience is that it is very well made, I truly believe you could move an upright Piano on it. Fenders are a challenge on this design, narrow fenders not so much but on my 60mm, plastic fender, 650B bike, I take the bolts that attach the fender struts out, and put the rear tire hold down under the fender, then use a small bungee to keep the fender from wiggling. It takes me less than 5 minutes… not too much of a problem. The peace of mind is worth the effort. On my Sam, with more narrow, Alloy, VO fenders, I just go right on the fender with the hold down…I don’t use any spacer between the tire and fender….seems fine. I should say that I do not get too stressed about scratches or imperfections.
