Thom, It's a Planet Bike MTB fender, and the top of it attaches to the top of the fork.
THe suspension parts of the fork are above where the fender attaches; therefore the flex in the fork is all going on ABOVE where the fender and the wheel are. So it doesn't look like that will affect the fender stays at all. But not having them "affixed" yet, it is hard to tell. My fender didn't come with any black plastic doodads to use near the hub. Hmm. But the arms do have that sticky-outy-thing where they attach to the fender.
I'm going to have to get it all attached before I can tell what will be a problem.
And it is a Topeak Exlporer MTX rack
and I think I've got a generic pic of it here, but I don't know what to do about those front arms. Hardware store clamps might be better than putting a nut through those eyelets between the seat post tube and rear triangle.
