Winter in the 801 can be challenging to those who wish to ride year round. While a mountain bike is good choice for slick roads, there are few things as annoying as riding a single speed mountain bike on the road when it's geared for the mountains. To get ready for hard core winter riding, I re-geared my bike, going with a 44 up front and a 19 on the back.
After gearing is taken care of, tires are important. I've running a single studded tire up front works pretty well in the Wasatch. The Nokian I run has some deep grooves for clearing snow, with some studs that provide a decent bite on ice.
At this point, I think the bike is ready to roll.
