Last fall I bought a second set of wheels and mounted the winter tires for my snow bike on them so that I could switch more quicklly between smooth summer road tires and studded winter snow tires. Due to a mild start to winter here and a change in my work situation, I haven't ridden in snow since November.

But yesterday afternoon after suiting up I walked out to the shed, flipped the bike on its back, swapped wheel sets, adjusted the brake-cable trim, pumped the tires and headed out in under 6 minutes! (Versus 30 minutes or more to un-mount and mount tires as I had been doing in years past.)

After converting my old hard-tail MTB to drop bars last year, it has been such a fun bike to ride on big, fat smoothies that I wanted to be able to ride it that way in the winter when it was dry.

And of course, riding it in the snow is an absolute blast!
