Laney, I removed the fenders because I felt like they were too stiff and 
causing me leg pain.  Before I did that I started using the stirrup 
straightener that Mike Lewis mentioned the other day and they eliminated 80% 
of my foot and knee pain.  The smaller stirrup straps have helped also, but 
now I'm dealing with the rubbing problem.
