Just got done installing the studded tires. My lovely wife didn't even complain about me bringing that nasty bike in to do it.
I suppose if I wanted, I could cannibalize the wheels from my LHT and put them on the hybrid if I get sick of studs. On the other hand, it was a lot less trouble to put the tires on than I counted on.
And as FB says, worst case scenario I get a better workout and get to drink another beer
