Full mudguards FTW.
I was amazed how dry i stayed when I put full guards on my bike.
Taken them off for the summer now but that bike remains as the one I use if I think it's gonna get wet/dirty/knocked about.
That's mainly because my 'good' bike is getting more track oriented now so isn't as practical on the road anyway.
My winter/bad weather bike is a Trek District so I don't have to worry about the chain rusting and the full guards will go back on it to keep the calipers in good condition once he bad weather comes back. It's an ali frame so that won't rust but I am noticing some small areas of oxidisation on the rims and my pedals (spd) are looking a it corroded. It still runs fine though.
