Split the difference, and obtain thee an older,
rigid-forked MTB with old fashioned cantilever
brakes for a "rain bike". And those old fashioned
centre-pull cantilevers are a lot easier to fit
fenders around, than V-brakes.
Kool Stop salmons (or something like them) are
available for those ancient relics, too.
Even non-threaded-post pads.
But I still like the gummy cheap-o $2 black rubber pads.
They wear fast, but there's a point where they're
oh so lovely when first worn-in.
After that point, they suck. Then ya spend another $2.
cheers,
Tom
