The problem doesn't seem to be the back of the front fender. Instead,
it's that water is spit forward from the top of the front tire where it
exits the fender, and as this slows I ride into it.


Yes, that would make sense! Thenk you for suggesting that explanation. I
am not sure there is any other solution than wearing a rain pant then…


And if there are more than a couple of mm of rain standing on the road,
then the front tire sends a wave of water off at an angle, which on my
bike, lined up perfectly with my shoes once per revolution. Nothing short
of gumboots (with cleats, of course) would have kept my feet dry in that.
