Well, I've had fenders on my Rivendell Road Standard for some time.
If there is a correlation between having fenders mounted and stopping
rainfall, it must be working. We haven't had a drop of moisture so
far this month in Tucson (maybe a chance next week!). I agree with
those that keep their
Actually I built up a poh-boy Pugsley last year... http://tinyurl.com/4vcmd4q,
which had only a placebo effect on the weather for a day or two... no
surprise. This botched solution lacked the float of a real Pugs,
and it also needed gears... the SS was a mistake... In the end I
prefer riding my
I tried putting snow tires on the car yesterday to ward off the snow
here in the northeast.
No luck. It's been snowing lightly all day.

I may be messing this all up.
The custom doesn't have fenders (yet). My Saluki has fenders and
leather mud flaps (attached with horrid black zip ties).
At best this could be neutral for the gods of weather. I suspect
though that this frustrates them and they will make us
all pay. Currently
I just bought some fenders, although mainly for looks. Hopefully the
rain gods won't see this as a slight or if so, the gods of foppishness
will intervene.

Of course, all my bikes, including the indoor Sam Hillborne have
fenders. It's one reason haven't really thought about a Pugsley.
Lack of appropriate fenders. Now, if there were Berthoud fenders in
26x120s, then we'd be talking. (Just imagine tweed mudflaps for
those. Wow!)

Yet you're still getting winter... you must be doing something
wrong! :-)

Maybe if I rode my Hillborne this time of year winter would end?
(Wishful thinking.)
Anywho, saw someone a few weeks ago commuting on an AHH. So that
won't do it. (Along Summit near Lexington in St. Paul.) Not sure if
it's list member or not.

Fenders ARE magic!
I've been able to ride consistently all winter here near Pittsburgh on
the Bombadil :)

Based on your revolutionary theory, Rob, I am announcing to my East
Coast friends that I will shortly be fitting my Bombadil with studded
tires, thereby bringing a swift and early conclusion to this already
dreadful winter... Let there be Spring...

At this point, I'd even take a California storm if the temps came with
it.
Put Albatross bars on my LHT and ended up with frostbite on the face
and left foot over the weekend. Am thoroughly tired of winter.

You guys crack me up..I never take my fenders off. My bike
stays cleaner even when it isn't raining and I have a place to mount a
rear taillight that looks nice plus fenders belong on a bicycle.

When I moved here, I took off my fenders. I felt like I felt when I passed
my last math class in high school: free at last, free at last, great g-
amighty, free at last. I missed them. I put them back on. One bike has
plastic with zip ties, the other has Berthouds almost expertly installed by
me.
I have to agree with the full time fenders crowd. I recently added to my
50mm Berthoud fenders in the Atlantis a Brooks leather mud flap and it's
amazing how clean my bottom bracket stays now. With the fenders (and they're
long) only, it was always dusty and full of road grit. I think I'll do the
I have no beef with fenders. The thing is that they barely fit on my
Roadeo with the Jack Browns, and by barely I mean not at all with the
shimano brakes and no fender nuts. I like the JB greens so much, and
the bike, I am willing to put up with a dusty bike. While the 28mm
tires can be nice
The reverse hex. Had a rare dry afternoon yesterday so I took my
unfendered 71 Paramount out for a spin...beautiful. Rains came last
night..bwahahaha!

My philophical question of the month has been How come Hong Kong is farther
South than Miami but has weather like Atlanta?
It has been down to nearly freezing at night here several times and many
days the temperatue has been mo higher than 10 or 12 degrees C. That may not
sound that cold until
