I run full metal fenders on my AHH and installed Portland Design Works safety tabs on the front and the rear. Thankfully, so far I have not needed them! Before you go fenderless remember that riding in rural areas puts you in contact with manure...add a bit of rain and look out!
When I used to commute into Philadelphia full time, I once was forced to follow a leaky, smelly, garbage truck for a couple of blocks. It was August, mid 90's and high humidity. You get the picture. Due to traffic I could not avoid the stream of foul, brown liquid leaking on the road way. The bike smelled awful but a quick wash and it was all good. I can only imagine having that spray on to me, my clothes, the rest of my bike! I have not owned a fenderless road bike since and never will.
