As others have said, I have fenders on all my bikes, including one dual banger MTB, and leave 'em on all year around. In addition to the unpredictable weather here in the upper Midwest, I ride mostly on trails converted from old railroad ROW's that have been surfaced over with finely crushed limestone tailings. This stuff gets very dusty during dry months and I have found that the fenders keep the brakes and headset, in particular, from getting gunked up as much. They also protect the paint from rock chips.
