    Do you use winter-tires?

    I used to use the "Schwalbe Snow Stud" in winter, but on my new bike, it won't fit. It has a narrow street-tire on it (label says: 28x1 - 700x25c).
    I'd like to use something grippier for snow and ice, but I am not sure if there are winter-tyres narrow enough.

    Wow that is a narrow tire for winter riding. Can you put zip ties on? of course that isn't going to make for a comfort ride, more like driving a car with chains

    Clearly you need to get a cyclocross bike!

    We just bought me a set of 35x700s for my CX bike. Looks like it may not be long before I get to give them a try. (fortunately/unfortunately)
