RNBRAD Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Well I mainly did it cause it looka a hellofa lot better. Also it has to cut down on drag. Those front fender are just a couple of big scoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Racers often do it so they can see exactly where the tires are at. I did it partly for looks but afterwards, I realized how much easier it was to fly through tighter trails or XC courses. Just do it and quit worrying about it...

wesw Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 so people can eat mud, water, sand, when they ride. yeah the look nice but when you go thru a pasture thats been rained on and get enough roost off the fronts, it becomes a pain. if racing, or sand dunes 24/7 i would go for it.but not when there is mud adn water involved i get tired of that crap on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamuel Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Because they like to flex? and bend and break right there near the seat? I know mine were starting to show mass wear right there cutt them and less wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsuther78 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Just cut them. It looks alot better and I honestly think that the ride is better. I like to see where the front wheels are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it comes down to personal preference. Mine arent cut yet, but I'm sure as soon as they start getting beat to hell i will cut them.

Last time I rode any mud I was just as dirty as the guy that had front fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsuther78 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I personally think that the fenders are set to high to really block any mud or sand. Just pretty much pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
