Expert Reply:
For bikes that have fenders you want to use a bike rack that grabs the bikes by the frame and not the wheel/tire. The Kuat NV part # NV22G-NA22G that you referenced is a great rack but it's not ideal for fendered bikes. Instead you'd want something like the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider # HR1400Z-FB which would be a great option. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. It can also carry bikes with up to a 60 inch wheelbase too.
