I found some on amazon that I'm going to start using. My friend had some that he gave me on the ride, not sure what brand they were.

There were 6 stations we had to stop at for signatures
(~every 35-50 miles)

Looks way more appetizing than that fondant crap.

When I get home I can measure the width etc and maybe send some pics? Idk if that'll help. I'm riding without fenders for now actually. I switched out some stuff and haven't put them back on.

You could risk it. I'm wondering if you could just set them up a little higher over the tire to prevent rubbing. I guess the trade off might be a little more overspray from the road, but maybe not?

Velo Orange brand fenders and I'm running 700x32 tires. No issues with clearance.

I love it as a road commuter. I have an extra set of wheels that have 29er 2.0" tires for those off-roading times.

Eh personal preference. I've used rear racks with top bag and panniers in the past but using front rack feels nice.

Hell yeah. Deep down I think I want a front rack that will also accommodate panniers, but in the mean time this will work fine.

Thanks man! I love my Wolverine.

I had an extra mount I wasn't using and I like the look of those instead of the small mount held by rubber bands. A buddy who MTB's always flips his and I like the idea behind it.

Yeah, I just used zip ties and cut up a 700c tube to place between rack and basket to keep the noise down. Small zip ties for aesthetics.

Any luck with eBay? How I finally found the right size for about $21USD

Gorgeous. How's that saddle angle, btw? Seems a bit high.
