I realize there a few hours left, but I am unlikely to move the needle any before the end of the day so I'll go first. First 2018 was a highwater mark for me so I was unlikely to match the 2,700+ miles I did last year. I had some challenges at the beginning of the year which likely killed my

I crumpled my front fender during a ride this fall and have yet to replace it (mostly b/c i don't want to buy a brand new pair since the rear one is perfectly fine and bears the brunt of the work). Wondering if anyone has a spare front lying around, just so I'm somewhat symmetrical again. Shippi

[RBW] Re: Snow and Brisk Riding Tips

Dear Matt, Studded snows are the only effective answer to glare or black sheet ice. They are heavy tires with stiff casings to support the studs, and are horrible to ride on clear pavement as a result. I hate to ride them until I desperately need them. For other snowbound conditions (slush, lo

Hey Mat! Will nailed it. Studs are the way to go for significant glazed snow pack and smooth ice, but at quite a price. For my winter riding where I live glaze and sheet ice are largely avoidable via picking a different line, walking a section, taking a less traveled route, or simply waiting fo
