Jan has addressed this issue many times over the years. He has certainly put the miles on metal-fendered bikes, on dirt as well as on pavement.
Me, I'd use metal on my road bikes if my fenders stayed on year 'round, but here in 5"-a-year westside ABQ, I install only for the monsoon and thus like plastic ones because they are so easy to remove. Aside: I generally abbreviate my rear fenders to obviate the hassle occurring when the full rear mediates contact between rear tire and interior of small hatchback. This also means, no rear struts. I hope to have my bro braze a threaded post onto the underside of the rack to replace the zip tie I used last year. On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 10:29 AM, Will <waller.will...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes.
