True.
the clip-on fenders linked above won't have that problem. i had a similar rear fender (mud shovel) but over time the material go weak and the dender sometimes swang down into the tire and the tire rolled it up. I had to put that rear fender into a very high angle (like 30+° from horizontal). i ended up selling it... When it gets dirty, you get dirty anyway. you need to clean the bike and yourself anyway.
