Yeah exactly, I found that riding through sand and riding through mud a lot of muck got trapped underneith the rubber guards. Thats why i've had them pushed up to the top of the stanchions since the third week i've owned the bike. It never dawned on me to cut them off. They are now cut off, and i have to say it's asthetically more pleasing.
