Be careful.

Under that snow, thar be ice.

I prefer studs to cartoonishly wide tires in winter conditions.
Maybe Large Marge can be drilled?

I built up what I thought would be a dedicated snow day MTB commuter and found it was a waste of time and money cuz I would up using my regular commuter instead.

Yeah, I love these types of statements. Especially from a dude in Hawaii. The next time several miles of your commute has 6 inches of unpacked wet snow on it and your bike rages through it like no other, we can discuss overkill. Or you have to navigate deep cookie dough snow with ice underneath it on the edge of a busy road in the dark and you do so, easily with no issues we can talk overkill.

Yeah, I love these types of statements, which ASSume that the current location of a poster is the only place they have cycled. I grew up in Colorado and Wyoming, plenty of snow riding there. I also lived in several other snow states in which I have cycle commuted as an adult. Regular treaded tires worked just fine for snow riding without the extreme weight and inertia of your tires.

But the bike is great for the bling factor for snow riding.

Seems somewhat dishonest (or at the very least rude) to make this statement towards me after deleting/ignoring this part of MY post.

To OP, you know that those reflectors won't do a thing. Better put reflector tapes on your frame and fork + lights.

Where I live has nothing to do with it, are you that thin skinned? You said something foolish and I called you on it. Get over it.

When I drive you can clearly see the reflectors light up from cyclists, the rear reflectors are certainly visible but the ones that always stand out the most when I am behind a cyclist are the pedal and wheel reflectors, those are clearly a cyclist even from a great distance.

Now you're back to N :)
