Biking in the snow??

[o2bjedi]

has anyone modified their bikes to ride in the snow/winter contidions? i was thinking of puting screws or bolts throught the tires. anyone tried this?

they make snow-biketires. i dunno how much they cost though.

 

[Caramba]

its all about taking off the wheels and welding on snowblades to make a snow bike

there was this kid who was biking to work cause that was his only transportation and he slipped in the snow and when he fell over he got ran over by a car and died

yeah we had a huge bike competition at my mountain like 2 years ago and the years before that. it was all in the snow. it was called the redbull freezeride, but it got taken away because people are dicks.

I put 1/2 in ch screws through my gazzoladis, I learned backflips in the snow before dirt, it is so much more forgiving.

it looks like so much fun

the winter x bike kit is a rip off and i'm pretty sure it's run out of some guys garage.

screws improve traction, but if you bail the wrong way.... ouch.

I just buy new tires in the fall, use them for winter riding and they're pretty much brand new for the next season.

yeah i put short wood screws through the rear tire of my crappy bmx bike. it works really well on ice/snow covered roads

 

[lorida]

if you're running a really short screw ( i'm guessing 1/4 inch) it works great, but the local winter competitions don't allow screws or i would install some in my tire. Oh ya, and be sure to cover the screw heads with something, tube patch works the best, but duck tape will do the trick also. Prevents the screws from eating into your tube.

or cut an old innertube in half lenght wise and tape it to the inside of the tire

 

[FUUUCK]

just use tires wil deep treads
