They are however, seasonal plumage and get removed in the summer and put on when the rains return. My bike follows a cycle from completely stripped down with knobbies during cyclocross season, to fully dressed with slicks, fenders, cages, seat pack and lights during the winter, and then slowly shedding fenders and lights until it returns to racing trim again.

If you have fenders you usually don't need the rain pants, just something warm when wet (or bare legs in summer). With rain pants I find I just get wet with sweat, even if the rain stops, and they're 5 times more uncomfortable than just getting rained on. I'm not made of sugar. That sounds backwards to me.

If your ballz are not soaked at the end of your ride, you didn't go hard enough. Hope this arguement is settled. All this fuzz and bother.

I took on the challenge and with a lot of work, modified some old aluminium fenders to fit onto the rear triangle - the front forks were much easier to fit a mudguard onto! So fenders are possible on a full sus' MTB but too much time to build to make them profitable to build I suppose? Only the fact that we had a £40 cap on the selling price and the donor parts were free made it possible :-) When I worked at the charity bike shop a student wanted fenders but also suspension – basically a converted MTB.
