This place is friendly, helpful and organized so for gods sake ask don't guess. | I don't think any gaskets are "missing"....but I do want Norman to see it.
This site is great. No fear of being attacked or anything. You guys kept me centered, and I had a enough sense to get the right part the first time. |

You guys need chains or studs so you can ride in the snow and ice. I saw where up north they race on ice with sheet metal home made studs in the tires looks like fun to me I used to race my bicycle with the neighborhood kids on our pond when we weren't playing a game of outlaw hockey where anything goes.

Them ain't home made sheet metal screws, thems is expensive studs. The serious guys use actual spikes that are made or put into the carcass of the tire.
Well, we did use some sheet metal screws once, but they didn't work real well.

I can imagine... I thought about using them on a friction wheel but was afraid the heads would wear out and reek havoc on my tire. Most likely in the worst possible place as well. Still might buy a kevlar tire and give that a shot. |

Right now, around 26:1 with Dominator. I would advise first break-in with Saber though. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
