Bike Fenders - yay or nay?
I just picked up my 2019 Trek Dual Sport 2. LOVE the bike, most comfortable ride I ever had.
Considering getting some fenders. Wondering for those who have them, do you regret buying them? I'm not concerned about bike-weight at all. I already "pimped my ride" out with a bell, phone mount, light kit, x2 water bottle holders, and a saddle bag. If I cared about weight I would have went with an FX3 or something else.
I'm wondering if fenders actually do a good job? I heard they just spit the dirt/water back into the tires and into the brakes and could cause more trouble than they're worth, and you still get dirty with them on. I live in Vancouver BC area and we get lots of rain, so that's why I'm considering them. IF you do suggest them, what brands are the cheapest yet best bang-for-buck quality?
Thank you
