Another slushy day in TO, another completely grimed-out drivetrain. Ugh.
I use SRAM chains with the power link so it's easy to take on and off.
I'm a bit of a slacker so I only do it when I can feel my chain is seizing up on me.
If you have freddy fenders, it's pretty easy to just poke some holes into the mud flaps and add a long strip of rubber (stair case moldings) that drape all the way to the bottom. which is what I did.

Yeah, that's exactly the sort of thing i was going to do. My rear fender actually doesn't reach all the way down to the bottom bracket because of the way the MTB front derailleur pokes out into the rear triangle (seriously, what is up with that?), so I was going to put a strip of rubber there, too.
SRAM powerlink... shoulda known.
