Hmm. By the same logic, if fenders were superior to no
fenders, then
every pro racer would use them; therefore nobody should

Huh? You lost me.

I'll try again.

What's best for racers isn't necessary best for everyone.
Riding requirements vary, so equipment requirements and
preferences vary.

I'm not questioning your preference or your ultimate
conclusion. I'm just questioning the logic that "if DT were

I ride more miles fixed than friction derailleur or Sturmey
index. Nothing wrong with any of those systems but none are
superior either.
