Studded tyres for the winter mate

Does anyone who has one of these use it to do a canal commute ?

I could live with the seat stay; it's the routing of the gear cable which looks a bit of a dog's d*%k...

Still a cracking winter bike for the money IMHO!

Oh god that is awful, why they didn't they do what they did with the disc brake and put it down the down tube and and along the chain stay.

I seriously couldn't live with the seat stays.

Can't really use any of my carbon bikes in snow, on a canal can I ?

Yes you can, man up. Although water bottles don't survive long.

Isn't it a little far ahead to be planning on winter cycling unless you're an eternal pessimist; Manchester isn't that bad. I'd avoid canals in the snow, wet, etc.. Is the towpath tarmaced or are there mud stretches? From what you've said you don't do many rural miles to get in to Manc (I think I do 4 to get to a main road) these will be gritted and clear, whilst it may be wet they're a pretty safe option.
