EU_commuter Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Moved to Ontario, Canada in January. There was snow on trails/paths/roads half of time in the long winter. I have been using my GW MCM4 going to work daily. It work fine with less than a couple of inches of snow. It's more difficult to ride when the snow level reaches to the pedals. One of the other problems is that a quite bit of snow accumulates in the wheel and as much as half of a liter dirty water would come out in warm rooms. I am thinking to upgrade the MCM4 with one running faster AND handling better in deeper snow (in the next season). Thank you for any suggestion.

Esash Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 V10F has the highest pedal height. The KS18L will have pedal height almost as high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about Z10 which has wider tire and smaller volume of cage to trap snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Snow? i suggest the Z10 if it's waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Z10 could be a great one, and quite possibly better on ice with the fatter wheel. V10 appears to have pretty high degree of water resistance, not sure about the Z10, and don't know what the pedal height is either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I should just wait to see what happens to all the "advanced" wheels. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudordewolf Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I never actually rode it this way, but: Chain from slipknottraction They can accommodate custom sizes. It rubs the case a bit and would take some modifying to make work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 18 x 2.125 (as opposed to the default 2.5) would sit lower on the rim, definitely. That wheel recently froze up (After 2500+ miles though!), it could become a project wheel for that.
