I recently built up the Heavy Duti with studded tires that were gifted to me by a friend. On a morning where we got a little bit of snow I took the bike out for coffee. The snow was melting nearly as fast as I was riding it though.
Side note: The existing tire tracks are mine. I had wanted to show myself making the first tracks in the freshly fallen snow but my Gopro kept freezing up and I had to shoot several segments multiple times.
Nice! I have a studded front wheel for my Heavy Duti, ready for when I need it. So far this year, the need hasn’t presented itself…yet.
I debated putting the tires on a different bike but the Heavy Duti had been torn down and stashed away, it gave me an excuse to build it back up again. At some point I may split the tires up and put one on the front of Nova’s bike if she decides she wants to get out in the snow and/or ice.
Winter riding is a whole different kind of fun.
