Ha! Yeah, that breakaway "safety" feature is pretty touchy. Anyone with fenders is going to become a quick favorite for riders to follow. I would call the cruds the most "polite" fender on the market!
They are fiddly, though. I had to use a soldering iron to melt a hole in the front fin so that it would rest flat against the frame (it lined up with my deraileur clamp which caused it to rub and rotate).
