Am I missing something here? I’m simply trying to put on fenders that came with the brand new bike, single speed, Schwinn Bikes, and the hole in them to get screwed on is too small.
No, that'll warp the neck. (Apologies to the OP)Doesn't a fender go in front of a fireplace ?
The illustrated fitting looks unsafe to me, with no breakaways, so anything harder that the stay going into the spokes will result in the fender bending into the wheel, stopping it and causing an abrupt head first dismount. I'm not willing to help making a killer bike and suggest contacting the manufacturer. Hopefully they have improved the design and just sent the old instructions.Instructions don’t show it connecting to the silver screw. Looks like one of them has a wrong part. Here’s a photo of one with the correct parts.

I have not seen the mudguards.Breakaway fixings should be mandatory on chromoplastic mudguards but metal ones do not fold up and jam in the fork gap in the same catastrophic way, and more brittle plastic will just shatter.
