Tires *like* the W106 700x35 Nokians work well for snow and ice on paths,
however on rutted ice, they have no studs to pull you out.
Tires *like* the W240 700x40 Nokians are more aggressive with knobs, stud
volume and stud placement. You can ride these pretty much anywhere.

Yes, sorry. I didn’t catch the auto correct! Mine are 27.5x2.1. The only
others I used were right at 2”. So I can’t really say if wider helps. I can
say that the more aggressive tread and studs have made a huge difference.
They are about as loud as a car with studded tires though and my old set
Thank you all for your replies. Just to clarify @frahm30, are those the 45N
Kahva tires? I'm wondering about the fit of 2.25 with studs in my Hunq
frame. Worked at a bike shop this summer and saw a bike with studs (sheet
metal screws) that chewed into a frame! Ouch!
In the case of studded
I use 700x35 Nokians on my winter commuter. They work pretty well 95% of
the time, but today I was about at the limit – it snowed yesterday, thawed
a bit and rained, cleared off and froze hard, and then dusted snow again,
so we had loose powder on top of a sheet of pure ice. For conditions like
This has also been my experience with the Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus
(700c x 40mm). The studs grip very well on the ice, but if the packed
snow/slush gets deep down enough that the tires don't sink though to the
ice/pavement below, the studs have nothing to bite into, and one can lose
Very nice Bill. Well worth the long wait. Thanks for sharing pics of the
raw frame.

John, for many winters I commuted to work with Nokia Hakkepelitas, 700 x
35. For more grip, riding on local lakes and snowmobike trails, we would
use sheet metal screws on knobby mtb tires, kind of noisy and slow on any
bare pavement, but very secure on hard ice.

Hey John, glad you got out and had fun in the snow!
Right now I am running the 45nrth Khama tires and they work really really
well. Last season I had the Schwalbe Marathon version and they were great
on ice but so so at best in the slush or any inches of snow built up. I

Went for a ride in snow today and had a blast! I also slipped around a
little bit as I tried to follow the packed snow of tire tracks. Got me
thinking about studded tires. I've never ridden them before and know
nothing about them.
Do any of you fine folks with more experience in such matters
@Jason,
Thank-you.
Gotta be prepared with all the water I can carry, if I loose track of how
far I have gone down the trail.

Hello Bill,
The frame and fork look great! Love being able to see the craftmanship of
the lugs and welds with out the paint in the way. It should be wonderful to

not my favorite. Lately my wife and I have been getting out

Miraculously I found it second-hand on eBay. The seller accepted my offer
for just the frameset and it's been hands-down my favorite bike to ride.
I'll share a separate post with all the details later next week when it's
more dialed.

Nice photos of the frame. The fork rake looks very nice. A few questions
after reading all the posts:
How much fork rake do you have??
How much BBD do you have?? Earlier you mentioned Grant used some extra
BBD, based on his Roadeo?I thought 80mm was RBW standard BBD for 700C
I think the Homer badges are pretty sweet. The one on Paul R's bike is
weathered, patinated and brassy. It looks beautiful. I'm not sure if
they're still made with same metals (doesn't look like it to my eye).
