I ride in Oslo Norway but there is no snow yet.Where are you riding? We will be getting snow here in Anchorage soon. I’ve used the Ice Spiker Pros on my 29er mountain bike in the past. With those tubes your tires will definitely be lighter as the tubes that come stock are super heavy duty and built for puncture protection I also replaced my tubes with lighter versions as flatting in the winter is super rare.
cheers
How has the grip been during the freeze and thawing when you're out and about?The snow we got earlier melted off. Were in a freeze thaw/cycle now so ice builds up slowly then it’s get cold and the snow finally sticks around until late April. The almanac says it’s gonna be a snowier winter than usual. That’s about what it cost me for tubes/tires it always cost more to ship to Alaska. I’ve already rode over 50 km on mine and they are super loud on pavement. People hear you coming. You won’t need to worry about adjusting the tension as your not messing with those bigger nuts to drop the wheel out.
