Nice fat bike. I got a Salsa Mukluk XT I modified with upgraded carbon wheels and a carbon bar as well as a dropper. It's my go to MTB but my plan is to do longer winter rides this year because this was my year of centuries. Have done many of them starting with my first but that was in March. It was raining and 35-65 degrees that day, was armed with good base layers but I used flat pedal shoes on my carbon bike. I also have my winter beater, a flat bar hybrid that will stay flat pedal but for the winter centuries I am planning definitely need a way to be able to stay outside in temps 0-20F (it never gets colder than 0 where I live) all day long. So far my longest winter ride has been about 35 miles using winter boots on flat pedals. Yikes can argue about benefits of carbon vs aluminum or how Dura-Ace craps all over the other groupsets because its so much lighter but the truth is heavy boots, 2 wool socks and three layers on your pants and all that extra weight WILL slow you down by a huge margin.

Do you find the 45NRTH Wolfhammer boots to be hard to clip in and out of? I tried a variety of clipless shoes before finding myself doing well with the Bontrager Cambions. They seem to clip in and out easier. I tried other brands including Giro for SPD compatible platforms but the clipping in and out is much harder which is frustrating. I have to tilt the pedal and push VERY hard and even then it's not hard enough. In group rides sometimes I have to fall back for a while before both feet actually lock in. Sad to know the Cambio is not out of production. That is what the local Trek store told me about their winter boots as well. I guess that doesn't help me know for this winter's plans.
