If I can stick to riding on the flat rails-to-trails and its compacted crushed stone surface when the snow hits, I think I'll stick to the Bombadil and some Panaracer Fire Pro 700x45 or maybe Nokian W106. I've read the studs do nothing for you on a crushed stone surface though, so the Fire Pro's may be it. I could go a little wider, but I have P50 fenders on, so I may as well use them.
I could also ride my road bike on it with 35mm Nokians or maybe another cross tire without studs. I don't know, the only way to know is to try some tires. Thankfully on the trail I have no worries about the chemicals and salt. I've manged to keep my '99 pickup truck free of rust by rinsing it every opportunity I could above freezing. It really does work when you have to go out in the mess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
