I will say that this past week or so riding my MB-1 with snow studded tires and fenders has been a game changer for me as far as commuting. I'm no land speed record holder in them but I'm shocked and thrilled at how well they've handled the ice and snow. Even the crappy crusty ice snow melt stuff on the side of the road and in the bike lane. I just don't slip.
