Title: My new Catalyst!
Post by: Magnus Thor on February 02, 2005, 06:24:20 pm
My new Catalyst has arrived!  What a great bike!  Even on day one I'm in love with the Rohloff and the rest is just superb!  This will be a great bike to tour Iceland this summer, inculding the interior highlands.  [^]

So, if anyone wants to pat me on the back, feel free! [:D]

Nice ones - congratulations! How do the tyres cope with snow?

Well, since they are new nad have a decent tread to them they work all right unless I hit ice.  On my other bike, wich is and will be my snow and slush commuter, I am running Nokian studded tyres.  Those are rather heavy but can cope with almost everything except very deep wet snow.  I have ridden to work, around 10km either way, through blizzards and snowstorms and  the biggest problem is when you hit ice with a side-wind.  :D
