Hugger question

[OldCroc]

I have removed the rear mud guard and have found that it helps reduce the crud thrown up on the back of my legs. The question now is should I go one step further and fit a hugger??
I ride in all weathers (mostly rain, it seems) and I was wondering where the water goes when a hugger is fitted. It seems to me that it will stay with the tyre and fill the treads effectively reducing the grip as the tyre will have the road water and the water thrown round by the hugger to deal with. Any thoughts.....????

Yes, you think about things too much

Buy a Mudsling, they`re really good

Dont worry I think that the effect that a hugger has one the water around your tyre wil be pretty minimal to say the least !!!
