Thanks! I am currently running 35mm studded Nokians (106 Happ) on the bike and made a set of mud flaps. The Nokians fit with out much fender adjusting. The only issue is how much more difficult it is to ride w/ studded tires! It would also fugure that this is one on the warmer winters in PA in recent memory!
No snow, no ice but I am ready when it comes! I really enjoyed doing the conversion and really enjoy the bike. I really like the Nexus 8 in a road frame for commuting.
