With Friday's snow melting it is quite damp and feels colder.
I installed a rear rack on my Pugsley on the weekend. The rack mounts are a few inches forward of the rear drop outs, which puts the rack further forward then I would like. I can just barely squeeze my QR trunk in place. I'm able to put my panniers further back, so heel strike isn't a problem.
How wide are the tires you use on the pug? And how much more rolling resistance do you think it has over normal MTB with ~2 inch wide tires? Do you use it for an everyday bike in the winter?
