I have studded snow tires and used to use them to commute to work here in New York City on my vintage 80s mountain bike. I LOVE THEM. It's so fun to just go anywhere with confidence. Check out a ride I went on here on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/B0xyW6dUSow For trail riding in Maine th

My experience is similar to Steven's. I'm in Alberta, Canada and am running Ice Spikers Pro (folding bead) 26"x2.1". I would add to Steven's comment that riding on a snow trail which has been walked on can be hard going; bouncing around and finding it hard to pick a line, which is essential in

Greetings All Similarly I purchased a Medium and have washed and dried it *thrice* (without wearing it beyond trying it on) It's still too big and not in my comfort zone. If anyone would like an unworn but washed and dried Medium , I'd be happy to sell for 90% of what I paid including shipping S

David, I rode 26” x 2.2 tires with aggressive studs for many years in New Hampshire. The riding was a struggle unless very well packed or after a thaw and then another hard freeze. When conditions are good, its a lot of fun. Steve On Thu, Jan 7, 2021 at 9:49 AM David Wadstrup wrote: > Hello, >

Can't speak to winter trail riding, but in case it's at all helpful: I've been rambling around the 'hood (Michigan) w/ the 2.25" Ice Spiker Pros (wire-bead) for the past couple seasons without incident. Bedded them on cement for 5 or 10 miles and haven't lost a single stud. I can totally see be

I bought the size L shirt from Berkeleyan but it is, alas, after a wash/dry cycle too small. These do indeed shrink a lot. It's now on the edge between M and L but as I like things a little roomy I know that I'm not going to wear this. If you are interested in buying ($20) and picking up a

I liked them more than the Get-rounds, mostly because the grips position was further back (thanks long top-tube rivs) and the 30-ish deg backsweep agreed with my setup. Also works great for bag strapping. Highly recommended, and I even have a set of the crmo sitting sadly in my parts box... Ch

Hello, I recently moved to Maine, and would really like to keep riding trails even in these snowy, icy conditions. So, I'm hoping for some advice. I initially thought a fat bike might be in order, but after diving deep into Surly Wednesday research, I've decided that it's just not for me -- I
