Allaire with studded tires

[alex_k]

I had fun riding my SS at Allaire today. I did not have any problem with braking or icy ascents at Tiger Woods.. I could stand up and mash... Just a bit slower than usually http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/7549863

You can have fun too - just make or buy studded tires

So 6 hours what I spent yesterday making studded tires PAID OFF!

Very nice work Al!

I am loving my nokians too. They are mandatory at 6-mile right now.

We should ride this week while the conditions remain perfect for ice -biking!

probably I'll add few more studs for 6 Mile twisties

there's only one problem with homemade studded tires - they are heavy. I think plus pound or more for a wheel.

I rode yesterday, no studs, no helmet, no problems, the conditions were overstated.

No, I was on a SS 26" rigid w/ a bob trailer.

So you could miss iciest places... Tiger Woods was the worst but some sections of Orange were very icy too.

I did it blindfolded so I cant really confirm; I mostly stayed high and dry - plus the daily bonus of compleatly destroying the coke trail.

No studs need yesterday or today, Dirty diaper conditions not overstated.
