Can I install these on carbon forks?
While possible, extreme care should be taken not to overtighten. It is recommended to consult your fork manufacturer's guidelines for accessory mounting on carbon frames.
Do the clamps have any protective features for the fork?

Troubleshooting
Clamps do not fit fork
Verify your fork's outer diameter. These clamps are designed for 26.5mm to 31.0mm. If your fork is outside this range, these clamps will not be compatible.
Mudguard is loose after installation
Ensure the screws are tightened sufficiently. Check that the non-slip surface of the clamp is making good contact with the fork. If the mudguard stay is very thin, consider adding a small shim (not included) for a tighter fit.
Clamps are difficult to position
Loosen the screws slightly to allow for more adjustment. Ensure the clamps are oriented correctly on the fork leg before fully tightening.
