When the weather gets generally dry I prefer to not have fenders on my Appaloosa. We do have a lot of squirrelly squirrels here in the north eastern US. Lots of rabbits too on the MUP. They behave differently from squirrels but also unpredictably! So, yes, I worry about that happening. Sticks too. Hasn't happened yet, but still... I would say it's about 50/50 for the year on average having fenders on/off. I totally agree with bsnyc about riding through unknown nasty stuff in the city too. So when I head in that direction I like to be covered. It has been pretty wet here for most of May. My morning ride for the 1st of June was no different. My back side and saddle bag stay dry as does the headset. But with all of the organic matter falling from the trees right now I've been getting this mess. I think I will try to make a mud flap from an old water bottle tonight and see how that goes. Seems like I just need one on the front so I will start with that. Those are the P65s over Maxxis Torches if anyone wants to know.
