Rereading that, I should have clarified that I feel like there wasn't anything on the tire for the snow to bite into, due to the lack of tread...
Also, on the clipless pedals: I had a pair of Crank Brothers Eggbeater pedals before, and the design seems like it would be very clog-resistant, mud or snow... I've used Time Expresso(sp?) pedals before too, and I remember them trying to market those to cyclocross because of the mud-shedding nature. The few times I had mud in my cleats with those, I did notice more difficulty clipping in, but they never actually failed to. >> Back to the tires, I've always assumed the slick, treadless nature helped >> with preventing the snow from packing.

That's my running theory, >> anyways. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
