3 inch update

the 3 inch wide Duro tires are no match for 6 inches of mashed potato snow. pedaling on the flat can be done with a ton of effort. the faster you go the easier it is but ANY amount of uphill will grind you to a halt and once you stop, getting rolling again is very hard even on flat ground. I didn't get to ride any fast downhill but I imagine they'd be great for that.
 I was running about 12 psi and I think I could have run less. the sidewalls on these mothers are really stiff in the cold.

    All of this rain and ice on top of these mashed potatoes and a hard freeze tonight might make for some rare riding if you have studs tomorrow.

    If you have 3 inches up front and 3 inches in the back doesn't that make 6 inches.........
