I like the 2" knobbies, makes me feel 6" taller. Maybe look at some Big Apples for when the weather is better (next week hopefully)
I like the idea of living where things fall apart w/ *any* amount of snow. Seems like a more sensible response than piling into the SUV and wiping out somewhere 'cause darn it that's what we do in cold places.
Yeah. Things fall apart here but people still try to drive in this stuff.
This snow happened immediately after I switched from 700x40 tires to 700x28 on my Cross Check. Probably not such a bad thing though. The fenders would have clogged badly if I had left the 40s on there. The 700x28s have seen better days though. I might spring for some Schwalbe Marathon 700x32s this weekend. Need to get some mudflaps on this bike too.
