The Fall trail and gravel riding on 700c road bike is pure enjoyment. Everyday this Fall, rain or not and as a quick escape, I'll get a minimum 15 miles of gravel and single track. Dusk to dark whisking thru the forest with high power lamps makes it feel twice as fast. Only real concern are deer. Came close a few times to near catastrophic collision.
The fenders are great on wet road running but useless on the trails. I've given up on them and now removed. Wet leaves and twigs are guaranteed picked up and sticking in the typical pivot caliper. I can see the huge advantage of going disc, including wet conditions.
