Well the white stuff is here, and it's cold, -10C.
Put the studded tires on for a few more miles aboard my beloved bike. Soon the snow will be too deep for these skinny tires!
All bundled up for cold weather
I thought I would update this thread with the choice I made for tires.
Bought a set of Schwalbe Ice Spike Pro tires. Turned out to be a great decision, the tires work very well on the frozen and snow covered trails.
However, as soon as the snow got deeper that was the end of off-road riding...
We're very lucky, this view is just a five minute ride from our house. We live next door to a Nature Park that is laced with trails and has an active trail building club that is busy reviving old hiking trails and building new dedicated mtb routes. Our local community has recently been awarded a...
I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 rack if you have a real hitch receiver. It is very well made and secure. Rated to 120lbs (55kgs)

Thanks!
Thanks, yes I finally found a review about the introduction of the new e8035-L and e8036 that states they are a bit longer and cannot retro fit to older e8035 fitted bikes. Grrr...
My first EMTB
Home made kickstand bracket for a Giant stand. I know, kickstands aren't cool but this is working pretty good so far, can't tell it's back there even on really rough ground. I'm old so no big drops for me and I like having the stand.
Thanks Sparked.
I saw your post about your bike coming loose from the Thule Easyfold XT rack. Very scary!
We bought one of those when we picked up my partners Giant but as soon as we tried to load the bike I wasn't happy with the clamp system Thule uses on that rack. No way to get a secure grip...
