That's the common wisdom, but I've ruined more metal fenders than plastic so far. My fault -- I didn't support the bolt at the fork crown properly and the metal tore around the hole. Fender #2 is faring better, but I still check it regularly. On the other hand, my cheap Serfas fenders on another bike have put up with more than 10 years of being forced into alignment by the stays without cracking. /shrug
