If you have a traction problem sit on the tank.

i was wondering the same thing

last winter i stopped doing stoppies, now i have a better bike to do them on, so it is so much easier to do them now

I have been doing them at temperatures of about 35 degrees F

but it takes time for my front tire to warm up, usually the first 5 to 7 times my front tire just slides or skids, but then after that it is usually warmed up!

My question is if the ground is frozen, or the temp is below freezing, would i still be able to pull them, of course i am going to try it anyway, but was curious as to what others experienced in them lower temps???????????????

I was out yesterday in 36 degrees you just gotta give the tire a coule of minutes to warm up. D207's have no problem with traction for me.

Just warm up your front tire first......you'll be fine in any temp.

oh and when it's cold out you can only do them on asphalt. Concrete gets slippery when it's too cold out. at least for me.

Ya, like 35 is just right. Just ride for 10 mins before you try one. You can check if you front is hot by clutching the rear and if the tire burns out ride a little longer. Thats what I do
