Jim, Looks like I'll have to add some studs to my tire collection. The thing about Boulder is the snow/ice usually melts within a day or two, so that makes for a lot of wrestling tires on and off. Glad to see you're enjoying Marin! Noah -- You received this message because you are subscribe

In my experience, the saddlesack bags (medium and large) will keep your gear dry. The canvas is fairly thick and tightly woven, and the main flap provides lots of coverage, almost like a raincape over your stuff. On Wednesday, December 26, 2012 1:15:03 PM UTC-5, Michael wrote: > > Any water
