Center and space the rear of the fender over your tire. If you cannot move
the fender into place, back off the bolts a turn or two from step 28 so that
you can move the struts. The fender should be evenly spaced around the
tire with no less than a 12mm (½ in) gap anywhere.

Once the fender has been positioned properly, thread in the struts, fixing
bolts all of the way tight. The fender should not be able to move, and
the struts should not slide in the clips. If something is loose, check the
hardware, retighten, and check again for movement.

The struts may be too long for your frame. If needed, you may bend
the extra end of the struts out of the way, or, very carefully cut off the
excess amount of struts. Note that the best way to cut the struts, without
damaging your frame or the fenders, is to mark where they need to be cut,
remove them from the bike, cut them with an angle grinder or hacksaw,
and reinstall them on your bike. DO NOT cut your struts too short!
