Studded 700 tires
Anyone here ride studded tires for a 700 sized wheel? I've been riding the old Trek Mt. bike this winter. It's not a bad ride, but it does feel like a tank in the snow. Hence, I'm considering taking the Cannondale 800T out in the ice and snow. However, two winters ago I had a nasty spill hitting an ice patch at the top of a pretty steep climb (I couldn't get any traction and simply fell over a guard rail and about 10 ft. down an embankment. The freaking guardrail cutting into my shins was the nastiest part of the fall. Well, that and my ego.) So, I'm hoping for a bit better traction with studded 700/35s, which the C'Dale will easily fit. Given the prices I've been seeing for these tires, I don't want to purchase them and then be disappointed, and it looks like this winter will be a long one. So, what wisdom can you all offer?
