I'm thinking a mid fat, maybe I'll build up a krampug in the fall. <br /><br />Anyways, you aren't kidding about the warm Thurs or the cold either! Here in Iowa City that Thursday melt wrecked my Friday commute. All that melt created thin slicks all around the city. I dumped my Straggler, but luckily ended up a little better than you it sounds like. Shoulders a little sore, but not as bruised as my pride! <br /><br />Luckily the beautiful paint on my straggler was unscathed. I've gotta invest in a second wheelset for that thing to keep my studded tires on. I built this bike up a few weeks ago and was really excited about the WTB Nano TCS 40s. I told myself I'd just be careful and if the warm fall was any indication, spring would be here before I knew it! So I set them up tubeless immediately, and all ice aside they are freaking amazing! I think their rolling resistance on tarmac is quite good actually, but then, I had been riding Lous on my BB and studded Marathons on my daily driver. <br /><br />I don't know about you guys, seem to have more snow than we got, but with the freezing rain, and the initial composition of the snow, everything white is a big crunchy ice sheet here. The going sucks! I would say I wished for more soft wet or powdery stuff, but now that my BB is gone, I won't wish for snow until I put something together for next year.

I saw that, yes! It is good that it work...@sniffer. I saw that, yes! It is good that it works so well for you. By the way, there were a few places where the deer had totaled out the trail surface here as well, but 4.8" tires tend to roll over that easier than they do over the craters that size 12 men's boots leave in the snow!Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-35741994530559974292016-01-14T07:45:20.413-05:002016-01-14T07:45:20.413-05:00I threw the pick of my DIY snowgroomer on Twitter ...I threw the pick of my DIY snowgroomer on Twitter at you last week. It works great and we have a solid base. But all the damn deer!!! Lucky for us it is only deer. We have been out on snowshoes and I might head out tonight an drag it again after it gets a little soft, hoping to pack it even better.<br /> snifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122476625912759887noreply@blogger.com
