Downey:  does your Nautilus Mini foul the front mudguard when the forks are fully compressed (as in going down a pothole)?  I'd read somewhere that it was a problem if you install the Nautilus in the original horn position.  OR, are there 2 different sizes of Nautilus available - Mini and Regular?  If so, perhaps it was the larger model that hit the mudguard.
