Anyone else caught in the 1functionalbike conundrum?
Got that 1 big tyred bike, and obviously it's chill and comfy so you commute on it, but you live in the UK, so mudguards are an absolute requirement, losing that clean, knobby tyred look, and adding fear of death by twigs and leaves when going even slightly off the beaten track.
I’m using Schwalbe Thunder Burt’s with guards on one of my bikes (commuting, shopping touring duties). I take it down local single track, canal toe-path etc.
I’m not dead yet.
