The way I see it......it keeps the bike in better condition which makes it easier to sell on and probably get slightly more for it! so I say yes!

I use them some say you have to be carefull not to get mud/grit under them (trapped twixt them & frame) because you could do as much harm as good. Steve Saunders supplies british made parts for most bikes.
