We've had a respite from icy conditions. It's cold and windy in Minnesota, but road bikes and skinny tires are still OK.
I've been thinking about the idea of a spare tire set for studded tires. But it occurs to me that I haven' 100% decided which bike I'm going to ride in the full-on winter. I used to ride my steel Masi, but maybe it will be the CF Warbird this year?
Does anybody ride CF gravel/cross bikes in full winter conditions? On the one hand, it's a rather nice bike to subject to all that salt. On the other hand, there are folks out there riding CF fatbikes and all....
The thing is, I actually already have a spare wheelset for the Warbird, though I'd need to get a set of brake rotors for it.
