I hit the trails regularly on my Bleriot and an old RockCombo. Both are shod with Berthouds...the Bleriot doesn't have a ton of clearance so I keep to pretty clear trails. The RockCombo has oversized 700c fenders and long mudflaps over 26" wheels so I have quite a bit of clearance...it's my mudder. I don't really get into any hardcore technical stuff but I do like bombing down single track and ride quite a bit on the local rail/gravel trails. I've had lots of leaves get stuck under the fender but I can really only recall one time where a stick got lodged in the stay...it broke. I know it's a risk but it's a risk everytime you walk out the door.
