Just wondering what's more common, do you guys have a dedicated winter bike to grab and go when you need it or just change to studs for the season? Or have studs on a separate wheelset and change as needed?
Doesn't matter what we do.
When I lived in a house with a big garage, I had a dedicated winter beater.
Now I live in a small flat and I switch front wheel, while using rear tyre with small knobs so it's not too loud on pavement, but not too slippery on snow.
I live in flat lands where roads are plowed and salted. If I lived in a hilly area, I would make sure to have a rear studded as well in the snow.
So it's all very much the case of your particular needs, budget, room etc.
