Most of the bikes have fenders year round. I've set up the
Rambouillet with Sheldon fender nuts to be able to take off the
fenders easily...haven't done it yet.

I've rarely needed fenders more than I did two weeks ago in Tucson!
Not a cloud in the sky, but dirty snow melt running ALL OVER the Mt
Lemmon road. Of course, we were all on fenderless bikes and got
completely filthy and soaked.
I'm slowly but surely moving toward fenders on all my bikes all
In Northern Wisconsin we're thrilled to remove studed tires never mind

Tempe, AZ; When I moved here, I took off my fenders. Then, about two
years later, I put them back on, and never looked back. But, if there
is a lot of mud or sticky snow...I don't ride the roads or trails if
they're really mud - it's not good for the road, or trail, or for the

On the other hand, if I ever get another multigear bike, maybe I'll
strip and reduce the Quickbeam to it's native, minimal state...

As others have said, I have fenders on all my bikes, including one
dual banger MTB, and leave 'em on all year around. In addition to the
unpredictable weather here in the upper Midwest, I ride mostly on
trails converted from old railroad ROW's that have been surfaced over
with finely crushed

In Portland it can be fender season just about anytime, except maybe
between 4th of July and Labor Day. Isn't this question justification
enough for having more than one bike? Jobst obviously lives in a
sunnier clime.
Funny timing, I'm just heading off to the basement to put fenders ON

Fairbanks. I'll put my fenders on when the snow melts in April.

Kennebunk Maine. The fenders on my Atlantis stay on year round. If
there's not snow, then there's rain and fog. Also they look great. I
even installed fenders on my non-Rivendell bikes-now they have the
look, too. Bill

I too live in Portland and, like Mike, have a Quickbeam and dislike
changing gears/fixing rear flats with fenders. So, I think the SKS
p45s will come off in a few weeks. The summers here in Portland are
pretty dry for the most part. And, besides, I want to fit in with all
the hipster fixie riders
Chicago. I like the way fenders look and leave them on no matter the
weather. There is no such thing as a dry season in the upper midwest,
in any event. Only the occasional drought.

St. Paul - i have fenders on almost all bikes year 'round. I've had
nice days bring showers mid-ride, and i hate the dirt streak up my
back. My bikes look naked to me now without fenders.

Fortunately this year with our warm March (if it does not snow by
the end of the month it will be the first March in recorded history in the

I have fendered and non-fendered bikes. The only problem with that is

Yeah, I think I'll be leaving the honjos on indefinitely. It's part of
the reason I chose the hammered honjos (after ease of installation :

polo bike...

Another St. Paul, MN. Fenders on all year. Especially as one has
Berthoud fenders and they are a chore to mount.
Now, I may run the Hunqa without fenders. Make it more of a fair
weather bike. Just to be different. Plus not sure what if anything
is available for 700C 29er x 60 fenders.

I live in Southern California, don't own any fenders. Winter prep
is to add a saddlebag to carry more clothes. I apologize for the tone
but I bite my tongue for several months during the discussions of
studded tires, fender mounting, etc., and I just couldn't resist this

Haha Doug.
I agree that fenders look really great, and high end fashion fenders
like hammered Honjos or color matched ones probably belong on the bike
year round.
For me I like the changes and having to get used to it. It keeps
things fresh between me and my bike. Spice it up, you know?
