is this a bad idea?

Ideally you should fix the guard to the rack, but this way satisfies
most.

If you grind most of that head off or replace it with a countersink
head screw.

If the chain doesn't hit your bolt during a shift, you're OK.

Agree.


Is that mudguard brace on the inside? Rack next to frame, in
shear, with mudguard outside is more usual.

Looks like that might be an impossibility with that type of stay. (SKS
breakaway?)

Actually I think SKS would go right on, the breakaway is for the front
yes? I'd still have to spread the rack around the fender stays rather
than do it the other way around due to the construction of the rack but
other than that I think those would work well. But see a few posts
back, I figured out how to make them work. one of those "duh!" moments.

I still want a pair of SKS or metal fenders, but I'm not buying anything
not mission-critical yet... next purchases, ASSuming that the bike
rides OK when all together (don't see why it shouldn't) will likely be a
front wheel with dynohub and a good headlight.
