Not sure I'd be willing to brake the elements with this tire 'mod', but it's creative for sure

Ha! Nice. Think I'll just stick with avoiding the snow while biking, and/or taking it real easy over snow and/or ice. Tires on the Trek seem just fine for such situations...

So... Anybody going to take advantage of the above-freezing temperatures at the end of the year to get in a little more 2010 mileage...???

Cold weather + Snow/Ice + plastic pieces under load from tire/rider = FAIL. I guess if push comes to shove it'd be better than nothing though.

If you want to ride on snow, this is what you should get: http://surlybikes.com/bikes/pugsley_complete/



I hope to have one sooner rather than later to hit snowmobile trails in the winter.

I've run studded tires in the winter; good on ice and packed snow. Not good on pavement and fluff of course. Heavy too.

Plastic + cold = broken zip ties. Pointless.

I would not recommend riding a a bike on the snowmobile trails, they go a lot faster than you can, not to mention, when they pass they spit snow everywhere, so unless u wear a full faced helmet, your face will get very cold as soon as a few sleds go by, plus and I don't know this for sure, but wouldnt that be illegal, I think the trail has to be marked for bikes, its the same thing with some trails being marked for no sleds, etc.

I know how fast sleds go; I recently used to have one.

You can legally cross-country ski on snowmobile trails and that's going even slower; I doubt anyone will give a crap about a lone cyclist That, and within so many feet of a person, by law the sled needs to be operating at 10mph or below. I've hiked along many trails on public land for photography in the winter and have never had a problem with sleds going too fast or had problems with sleds spitting snow either. Hell, I'm biking in winter, what's a little snow anyways?

You'd probably also suggest I don't ride a bike on roads because cars can go faster than me too.

I don't care what anyone says those are awesome looking tires. Gives the bike a "Tonka" look.
