I have a pair of 26” studded schwalbes winter marathons I could sell you. I moved to Manhattan since Covid hit and I just walk to work instead of biking now, so I’m not rocking the studded tires this season. Studded tires are awesome. If not, I recommend some other type of Schwalbe tires.

Hi, The RH instructions tell you to install the cranks dry. Which I did. This goes against my normal method. So, in the end I greased the spindle and bolt and tightened it all down. So, far so it has held up. My BB is a cheap Shimano. Perhaps the SKS BB has a better fit. > On Dec 18, 2020, at
