Hi Rene, Here's a photo set<http://www.flickr.com/photos/21531208@N00/sets/72157628802524201/>of my Mark's rack setup. Comparing to my Sam, the fender fit on the Betty is much tighter (given that the Betty has caliper brake and also wider tires). I switched one of the bolts and used it to secure the fender. The setup seems to work well, except when I make really sharp turn to the right.
I'll ask the LBS people about the fender when I take the bike in for service. Will report back if there's any new discovery. Thanks! (I posted the link a few days ago, but it seemed to be lost...)
