New member and my first post, hello everyone!
I put my new Studded Dillinger 5's on my Surly Moonlander 3 days ago, set them to 4 psi front and 6 psi rear. I hit the trails, and hit a 10 foot patch of ice, and hit the ground! Wow, that was fast. I guess I was just too cocky. I thought the Dillingers would do better than they did, but the conditions were odd. The puddle was about 8 inches deep but wasn't frozen solid, so I broke through and fought the edge of the ice and went down like a ton of bricks. I was wet and cold, but kept riding the trails in Wawayanda. When I hit solid ice I was fine, the Dillingers gripped well. I also hit more breaking puddles, but now I paid closer attention to them and survived. The tire pressures felt too soft too, so I'm pumping them up to 6 & 6 and try that. That's my first report on ice.
