I don't ride when those would be needed, I'm sitting in front of the fireplace! :lol: :lol: They are pretty cool though. I bet Skipton could use a set! :mrgreen:

I have studded tires and they work good on ice. The weight difference is pretty noticeable, I bet those would too.

OH MAN! Those are cool!! :mrgreen:
They might be more handy then a studded tire,
If they are as easy to take on and off as it looks.

Things that make you say Hmmm :wink:

Those reminded me of a story my dad told me. When he was a kid,he had an idea to make a "snowcycle". He got a ski and put it on the front of his bike,and he didn't know what to do with the back so he got a hard rubber tire and screwed bottle caps into it! :lol:

I was using knobbie tires with sheet metal screws in them for this ride (screws were installed from the inside-out with 2 layers duct tape over the heads)

Awesome, I want a set... Not much use in Australia, well where I live anyway.

Walker, do you have a close up pic of your tyre mod?

Yes, I used those back in the 50's on my paper route bike in the winter snow. I did not like them because they would not stay centered over the tire tread.I would have to stop and and slide them back up and away from the rim. The bike was a Royce Union, 26 x 1 3/8, SA 3 speed,with hand (rim ) brakes. We called them English Racers, but as Sheldon Brown said, that was the wrong name for them. The tire chains were different sizes, for different tires, but you still had to remove some sections of links to get a tight fit.
