Investing in better winter bike gear...Yeap, me too. Investing in better winter bike gear. Including $IDI winter riding boots, bar mitts, and "another pair of Nokian studs" so I have them available on my cycle cross, full suspension and hardtail. But to me it's worth it, winter biking rocks, and basement spinning is tough to maintain fitness. I ride the DDD course 2 to 4 times a week so my blog report the conditions. Your right, at this time, a Nokian works well, the snow is packed enough. But conditions change fast like we all know.

Okay, so they ain't that supple, but more so than the other stuff I've tried so far. <br /><br />They measure out real close to but not quite 2.3 on the 48 mm rims, which is a disappointment to me too. You've talked me into trying a Wierwolf LT on the front (won't fit the rear, so we'll stick with the FR there) so I ordered one. But there's really really no predicting what the DDD trail conditions are going to be like. Could be snowy like last year; could be icy rutted nasty snow machine tracks. Unlike the Pugsley jocks, I'm betting icy and one of these years I'll be right. <br /><br />I've also been asking around (without much luck) to see whether I could borrow a Surly tire to try on the front since it would easily clear the Pugs fork. I was a little concerned about the rim not being wide enough until I saw Jeff Jones using them as a front on his <a href="http://www.jonesbikes.com/production_framesets.html" rel="nofollow">bikes</a>.<br /><br />And thanks for the props on the face coif.

Rutty cruddy bumpy icy crap, the Freddy Revenzgeszez rule, trompy sidewalks of glaze ice you can't beat em. But soft or fresh snow or even packed not icy snow, give me wide tires. So I am not sure that you are buying much with the studs on the freddies if your DDD thingy is a snow festival, unless they sit a hell of a lot wider than they do on my rims. 2.3 my ass...<br /><br />Uh, also, nanook.

I stick to my descriptor as riding around on a tire full of marbles. It is better than the nokian extreme studded tire I used to use, but I think that is the only tire I ever rode that was worse. The good part is the non slip part, although I did get them to brake loose on a hard icy corner last week. How wide do they measure on your monster rims?<br /><br />Also, looking good there nanook...Tarik Salehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664260510124463879noreply@blogger.com
