The snow and ice have hit. I just mounted a set of IRC Mud Max studded tires on the old ProFlex 5000 last week. Of course I got them on Ebay, Matno. After using homemade studs last year, I am hooked on factory studs::). They have studs a-plenty compared to my home mades studded tires. I was climbing sweet technical single track in the sugar (powder snow) and ice. The were clawing in so well that I thought I might spin the tire on the rim.
Bombing down flat trails with ice under snow was fun too. The surprise on runner's and ice climber's (we have a local tall water fall (Briidal Veil) that freezes well and attracts lots of ice climbers) faces is great as you fly by at non-ice speeds. Can't wait to find the upper envelope [smiley=turtle.gif]
