Its been a while, winter.

 Winter is back and that means its getting icy.  We have Schwalbe Marathon Winter tires currently in stock in both 26x1.75 inch and 700x35c.  We will be receiving more 700x40c tires at the end of next week.
The Marathon Winter has 240 replaceable studs per tire.  As you can see in the picture the studs are located towards the side of the tire leaving the center of the tire void of studs.  The rider can therefore inflate the tire to a higher pressure (size and rider weight dependent) to minimize the amount of stud contact on dry days and lower the pressure to maximize stud contact on icy days.  The tread is a very good shape which is not prone to clogging with snow and ice but still getting bite in the soft stuff.  Stop in and check them out!
