Sir, a caution: I sense that was a disparaging remark re the "castrated" DT fender. That kind of loose talk regarding any DT equipment on these forums may well draw fire. It's apparently OK to say nice things but not the other stuff. As a stopgap, I'll send you my ... ah... abreviated fender. Tape it to yours. That way at least one of us will have an adequate mudguard. You can have my kickstand too.
