The idea of narrower studded tires got me thinking: what if the answer to my
winter riding quandary is the Quickbeam (ss, solves drive train in weather
issues, plus, it has fenders) is Compasses supple knobbies, the Steilacoom TC.
Perhaps this winter I will try the narrow tire (now with knobbies

and slick tires and "protection" devices I suppose since their sales depended
upon this myth... but for the countless rest of us it is not and never was.
