You’re good. 1/2 inch is adequate. Only problem is if the fails or a bolt comes loose you will destroy the spokes and collapse the wheel.

I think this worksn fine

As others have said, you should be good. But also, you could get bolts with a slightly smaller head profile. Just for peace of mind

Nice bends on those struts.

I’d use lower profile bolts with lock washers and loctite.

Get some low strength loctite onto the bolt threads just to be safe

Rotor bolts are the easiest bolts I always have spares of that have a low profile and fit. I’d definitely put some loctite on it.

All’s fair in love and war and mounting racks or fenders.

Here’s a generic picture I got from Planet bike or another website but the 2nd from left is ideal w/ blue loctite. Any hardware store will have them or if you go into a bike shop and ask nicely I’m sure one of the mechanics can grab a pair out of their spares, etc. I’d take a picture of the ones I have but the cat won’t get off my lap

Half an inch? I’d call that fine.

That’s enough clearance, Clarence.
