Re: [RBW] 29er/700c Studded Tire Options for Clem.

There are lots of options in 35-40 mm; the OP (David) already has one bike with those. I picked up a pair of Nokian Suomi Hakkapeliitta W240 622-40 tires recently; my girlfriend will try them on a Specialized Tricross. I use studded Dillinger 5's on my fat bike for ultimate traction. I'm mo
