Just got round to reading this, interesting for me as i like to use mud guards sometimes.
Why?
They do more than keep mud at bay. It's also about other crud, glass, tarmac bits and the other canine toffee that rob mentioned. A few times i have had to use saline fluid(often with me on rides) to blast my eyeball free of whatever is there, preventing my essential vision and easing the discomfort.
You see, more often than not on rides, we have interconnecting hard trails or tarmac that induces tyres to rid themselves of mud and whatever else. It's even worked up beyond shades too, there again, nothing worse than shades or clear eye protection smeared with your effort to clear them with your hands. Up here we see moorland with plenty of sheep and cattle' bodily waste. It doesn't taste as good as it looks, i tell you.
I'm sure mud guards were not marketed with the same "do i really need this"? as with some other accessories.
MTFU? whatever! If you feel they can benefit you and your bike, use them!
