I don't think my riding is slower when riding with fenders you could probably measure it and you would probably be infinitesimally slower. The benefits of having fenders would certainly outweigh any slight drop in speed I'm sure. I don't usually transport my bike and have never had the fenders get in the way when I do. You probably have a brake shoe rubbing or the wheel could be angled in the frame after installing the fenders, causing drag. Is your tire rubbing inside the fender ? If not, ignore the mild paranoia and ride through some mud puddles. Happy trails !!! = )
