Winter riding?
sheeet all I have to do is change my summer tshirt for a long sleeve shirt and change the Ardents to HighrollerII's.
Average Temp only changes by 10deg between summer and winter here.

^^ Yeah, I'd think a box of small sheet metal screws and a couple of Mr. Tuffy rim strips should do the job. I've wanted to try it, but we don't get that much snow and ice here.
^^ Angry, I did just that when I lived in Tahoe. About 200 screws, an 1/8" drill bit, Tuffy rim strips, and a few wraps of duct tape, and I was set. Didn't set any land speed records while commuting, and I gave a few taxi drivers a scare when they'd splash me, get to a stop light, I catch up, and show them my tires. Never heard "I'm sorry" faster. And yes, they worked very well in our snow/ice.
WTF? Were you banking on the notion that one of the taxi drivers was going to put the cab in park, get out and lie down in the middle of the street for you?
he was gonna screw the cabbie
for my "snow" bike i just use old michelin DH tires. a 2.7" in the front, and a 2.2"ish mud spike in the rear.
link? for those who don't facebook? I have a few buddies that might be interested...
No specifics seem to be available yet.
And I thought chivalry was dead.........
