Winter's over!
I know some of you live where there isn't any snow or ice, but we in the Midwest didn't get much this winter, and the 10-day forecast doesn't call for any. So after today's ride, I decided to hell with these studded tires!
God, I love the way Paselas look.

I bumped up the gearing and went on some rides around the neighborhood. Zippy and comfortable, I couldn't be happier.

The forecast is saying 56° and sunny for today. 
We literally had no snow here this year aside from a couple of dustings that melted almost as quickly as they fell.So strange. Tomorrow is looking like 65° but with high winds - which means I may not get to spend as much time on the bike as I'd like - but I'll take it.

They're regular MTB/559mm rims, but they do look funny when you don't have 2" tires on them. Here's a close-up:
I gotta agree that I wish we'd had more snow. I love driving my Subaru in it, and I almost never got a chance to put those studded tires to the test.

My winter fixie took a beating this year, rusty like a mofo. I intend to strip it down and apply a polyurea spray on coating (normally used for truck bedliners ) not for the weight weenies.
