Actually, if Mitch is talking about the old Raleigh-ish three-speed we usually 
see him on this time of year, those are 26" rims. Unfortunately, it's NOT the 
same as an "American" 26", and I doubt a studded tire can be found for them. I 
have seen tales of woe and intrigue on the 'net about studding one's own tires. 
Mitch, try Sheldon Brown's web site, at http://www.sheldonbrown.com for more 
info on the topic. Sheldon is also an aficionado (sp?) of those black and 
Sturmey steeds, and one of his pages might even be able to point you toward a 
studder for one.

Me? I switched OUT of my Nokians yesterday and today. Much faster ride with the 
commuter tires, but I sure hope it doesn't freeze before I leave (which better 
be soon!).
