PavementEater

thats hilarious.. it would be fun to bail and slide for like 1,000 feet.

Ryan S

no, not really.....ever fallen on ice before???? just as hard as concrete, just without road rash.

d-acesDan

I think that blacktop and concrete is allot more forgiveing than the ice. After this rain freezes, it will be perfect for stuntin. Then comes circle wheelies.

Were Do You Get The Studs... I Live In Canada And I Need To Ride On Ice..lol..

SCOTT_Chychul

also what are you using to keep air in it and how do you do it.. I need to get this setup working for me,, you have no idea,,, its winter here for 5 months so i have to ride on ice for sure..

Ryan S

studs can be bought at pretty much any dealership.....they are just hardened screws that are razer sharp

Ryan S

slime slime and more slime----it's green in color and can be bought at any hardware store, fixes small holes like a champ

SCOTT_Chychul

also how does the 12 bar act on ice ? can you use it for bar tricks or not? I know sometimes on the drag strips my bar steps out sideways on me and i would assume it would on ice too...

I just re-did my tires, used about 1100-1200 studs in each tire, screwed them in while the tire was still mounted to the rim with all of its air in. Added a can of "fix a flat" to each tire.

I didn't use any green slime
No liner

and my tires do not leak air at all.

When I did them this time I experimented a little by following the original tread patter on the tire, and made sure all of the screws where turned the correct direction. I'm expecting them to hook very well.

I had to turn my A/C on yesterday driving to work because it's freaking hot down here, lol. Nice pics

I've been trailering my **** to the spot lately. It's been waaay to hot to ride to the spots. I don't want to start sweating before i stunt. Sh*t sux

Jesse, have you ever taken a tire of that was mounted on a bead with fix a flat in it, the **** sticks to everthing including your rim, it's harder than hell to get off too, which i'm shure won't really be a problem since you have to basicly cut it off anyway. next time i'd find a tube if they make em

Damn you fools are crazy....way to cold. Still that some hot ish!

I plan on just leaving the tires right on the rims for next year, extra rims come in handy

I didnt take any pictures, its all explained there, only difference is the tank sits like an inch higher, just place some washers under it and longer bolts

SCOTT_Chychul

miltown how long of screws did you use ? I got 3/4 inch because it looked like the 1/2 inch would rip out.. I ordered 2000 screws and they will be in tommorow. I cut up a bald tire for the front and back for liners and an am ready to rip. What do you mean put them in facing the right direction, do you want the screw hitting the ice flat or on the corner of the screw ? I am thinkin of puttin 1100 in the rear and 900 in the front.. Fronts going to be in the air anyway.. And has anyone tried a tube ??

Miltown

I pretty sure they are either 3/4 or 5/8 that i used, they all poke through the tire pretty well. You place them in the tire flat, so that the head of the stud seals to the tire, dont try and put them in at any angle, i did that last year and the tire didn't hold any air, and sucked for traction. You also want to turn the studs with a wrench so that the notches go from right to left,this way the sharp edge bites into the ice.

When you look at the back of the tire from behind the bike they should all look like this.

**** i put the front so that they were angled a little forward for more braking.. But i put a liner in so that they do not poke through the liner and ill just use a tube.. The back is done now too and it seems stiff enough with a liner in it that i can run it flat and it will be the same as having 15 psi regularly.. Thanks for the help,, i cant wait to hit the ice.

Bump that...
