Photo below, from two days ago in my driveway. I'm running a Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub, and last winter I ran a Nuvinci N330. I'm also trying out a set of Michelin StarGrip tires, which you can see in the photo. No studs, but Michelin claims a winter rubber compound and some suitable tread. So far, so good on the tread, but I've yet to encounter any clear, black ice with them. I've only just gone around the neighborhood a few times.
