My rain bike had full fenders- but I had some problems with the front, so I pulled it off, thinking my feet get soaked anyway when it rains.

What are the general thoughts about the usefulness of a FRONT fender? I see plenty of bikes sporting only a rear- which has obviously practical applications- but the front?

Mine gave me a bit of toe overlap, and was fussy about wheel rub, since it was such a tight fit.... thoughts? Ideas? Am I missing something...? The only thing I can think of is riding post-rain- when the road is wet, but it isn't actually raining.
