getting my 150 ready for snow and ice!

[Fiddy@norway]

alright, don't know how much it really snows in australia, so this might be something different for you guys...

it's basicly sub-zero degrees here in norway, the lakes are starting to freeze over and the snow is falling ever so gently, you might be thinking it's not possible or fun to ride bikes on snow and ice? well think again.

I got a 1000pcs pack of icescrews from ebay, what is an ice-screw you ask? it basicly looks like a woodscrew with a sharp cutting head that you screw into the knobs of your tire, they come in many different lengths, I use the second smallest which is about 1/2".

It took 2 and a half hours mounting all the screws but the result is awsome! they grip the ice better than tarmac!

and a pic of the cat chillin' as a bonus

the tires I've used a Kenda carlsbad and millville.

haven't tested more than one ride yet, but once I hit some real ice, I'll get vids and pics up.

those tires look mean as like that, carlsbad is a good choice for it too, nice tough tire so shouldn't be tearing any knobs

my kitteh Fat Tony looks identical to yours

did you rejet your carby for the cold??

not yet, I haven't ridden more than 5 mins since it started to freeze over here. I have a pretty big jetkit for all my bikes, so it shouldn't be a problem.
