I am curious to know the reasoning taken by most on this thread in regards to fenders. People here build up these beautiful bikes for commuting and install funny looking hard mounted plastic fenders on them. Are these fenders better than the clip on fenders that I have on my bike (see below). With all the posts I read where people are having trouble fitting the hard mounted ones, I would think the clip ons would be more popular. I enjoy removing mine on nice days and putting them in my backpack so the bike don't look like a grocery getter.
