We are supposed to get 10 inches of snow today... should be fun if I decide to ride down to the co-op for a bit this evening.

Because of my massive quads I can probably rock a taller gear than most mortals so your mileage may vary... :)

Not disagreeing... if the rim and winter tyres are a good match it does not matter if they say 700c or 29'r.

The wider winter tyres are just about as wide as the narrowest 29'r tyres and I could...

My Pugsley is essentially a 29'r and goes over the snow rather well... because the tyres are 4 inches wide and it will go where no other bicycle will go.
