Does anyone ride with mudguards for these races? I took mine off a few weeks ago on the basis of drag/ weight reduction, but the accumulation of grit in the drivetrain has been massively increased, as well as road crap on clothes/ bags.
There’s obviously a trade off to be made, but I’m lacking the experience to make a proper call on it. The prospect of riding through Sweden/ Norway in summer rainstorms isn’t filling me with joy...
