HELP: any DIY ideas for attaching a 'rear' fender on seatstays?
Long story short, I don't like a seatpost-mount rear fender, because of how it interfers with cables upon rear-sus compression. So, I started thinking that I need to attach a rear fender onto the seatstay piece.
I searched and found some V-brake stud-mount rear fenders from Mud Machine and Woodman.

However, the thing is that my bike frame (Azonic Saber, or just imagine a Turner 5-Spot)does not have V-brake mounts. So, I somehow have to cleverly come up with a secure way to attach one (like Woodman's) around the "top arch" area of my seatstay piece (pic below).
Any ideas?
Either that, or simply buy one of these T.H.E. rear fenders (pic's below) and use its "seat-rail mount" option (not its "seatpost-mount" option), and just bear with it (with no sliding-butt-off-saddle on steep descends). Does anyone have any pictures of one of those mounted on the seat-rail, not seatpost? I'd like to see how it looks like being attached to the saddle.
Thanks for your ideas in advance,
