A month or two back I was very lucky to be able to pick up two brand new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suomityres.fi\/ext294.html\">Nokian Gazza Extreme 294<\/a> 29&#8243; studded tires via the <a href=\"http:\/\/mmba.org\/forum\">MMBA Forum<\/a> for $100 for the pair. While nowhere near as light as the 26&#8243; race-ish tires that I had before they should work out fairly well this winter, and at less than half of typical retail price they were a great deal. Having both the 29&#8243; and 26&#8243; studded tires should also give me plenty of flexibility even allowing me to ride <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/10\/21\/69er\/\">the 69er<\/a> this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Just <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/11\/28\/no-studs-lost-broken-in-nokian-wxc300-tires\/\">as before<\/a> I have to ride the tires for ~30 miles on pavement before taking them off road, so I&#8217;m hoping to get that done this week. To do so I mounted the tires on <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/voodoo_dambala\/\">the VooDoo Dambala<\/a> and switched it back to the original 34&#215;16 gearing. This should be good for some casual rides around local paved areas, perhaps up to River Bends, over through Clinton River Park, then back. Or maybe I&#8217;ll just take a ride over to Rochester and back, or something like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;m mostly riding 29ersthe 26&#8243; Nokian Hakka WXC300 studded tires that I used last winter needed to be replaced.
