BTW do you use studded tires?
Thanks Rotten
A Rocky Fusion is a solid bike! Congrats
The un-plowed streets are tough and takes a lot of attentiveness to maintain control. I like when the streets have packed down to be hard packed snow and ice. It still takes a lot of effort to ride, but at least you are fighting one less battle.
The upside is it should make spring and summer riding on a road bike that much easier
Yes use a Continental 240 Spike Claw tire, they work very well and the rubber it's self has a nice grip on ice. The tread is a nice open block that does not clog with snow, and the studs are carbide tipped, thus stay very sharp.
