Minimal Tire Studding

[serviceguy]

Walk the 10 feet into your LBS and have them order a pair. They're in stock on closeout through QBP.

I can't walk more than 5 feet without forgetting the reason I started walking in the first place, so that's not a viable option.

Did you order a pair? The 60tpi Steel ones are like $75

Nope. Not going to…oh, and look, it has started snowing in Ringwood, it worked!

Please never have anything ready to ride in the snow from here on out, thanks.

I am actually going to re-lace the 26” wheels on the Mukluk, that should take me a year or two so your training for ITI is covered…you’re welcome!

You’re a good friend.

I installed the studded Wrathchildren today - super easy and uneventful. Took a very short loop around the property including ~600ft of pavement. These tires do not lack for traction (or noise)!

What is the collective thought on break-in? Do I really need to ride pavement to set the studs?

A few miles, or a couple easy rides.

Keep spares on hand, you'll lose them anyway.

I'm honored!
