A few days ago, I asked a question about why road
bikes weren't often seen with mudguards, and I got
the quite reasonable reply that roadies want to go
as fast as possible, and mudguards slowed them down.
It got me to thinking about why *mountain bikes* weren't
often seen with mudguards - and I'm talking about
*real* mudguards, not those bits of plastic that are
attached to the seat post. I don't think the speed
argument holds here, and besides MTB riders would
*benefit* from guards since they have to go across
all sorts of muddy terrain. So - why not?
