    Winter Riding

    Norwegian guy here with 15 years of winter biking behind him. In short: Wear thin merino wool shirts with a long zip-neck. One or two layers of these under any breathable water- and windproof shell. Never cotton, avoid it -your life may depend on it. Keep a dry spare for any breaks. You will...

    I will. Did any of you try some studded tires on your Trekking? I see there is quite some clearance for up to approx 42mm wide tires including any protruding studs. But then none of the clips that hold the e-wires must fall of. That will lead to potential chafing from the studs. There really...
