I may be messing this all up.
The custom doesn't have fenders (yet). My Saluki has fenders and
leather mud flaps (attached with horrid black zip ties).
At best this could be neutral for the gods of weather. I suspect
though that this frustrates them and they will make us
all pay. Currently here in Norther Calif. the gods seem confused and
are showering us with spring-like conditions.
Not sure how all of this influences the earthquake gods - just hope
they are sleeping.

Well, I've had fenders on my Rivendell Road Standard for some time.
If there is a correlation between having fenders mounted and stopping
rainfall, it must be working. We haven't had a drop of moisture so
far this month in Tucson (maybe a chance next week!). I agree with
those that keep their fenders mounted because they keep their bikes
cleaner (I also have a fender mount rear light).

me. (And I eventually got a minor in Mathematics for my B.A.)
I think they are aerodynamic and efficacious in the annual rain.
And they
keep the dust off.

You guys crack me up..........I never take my fenders off. My bike
stays cleaner even when it isn't raining and I have a place to
mount a
rear taillight that looks nice plus fenders belong on a bicycle.

A couple of weeks back, in an attempt to cram fenders and Jack
Browns
onto the Roadeo I finally laid down my $10 and bought a set of
sheldon's fender nuts. At first glance and a hand fit, it looks
like
it might fit, tight but fit. I belive that the fender nuts alone
may
have been enough to trigger the end of the rains, if I contiue the
fitting of the fenders we may never have rain again. I probably
can
not take full credit, but will say you're welcome.
