Snow traction

Kirtsin you can pre-order /subscribe them but have to pay now at the check out to guarantee to get them.

At £21 a lot cheaper then the £130 to keep up with the Jone's.

Quite fancy trying a pair of those on my fatty, but not at £130, shame on-one didn't make enough to match demand. Often the way with certain parts, I expect the same thing with happen in June if you don't pre-order.

For £21 it is worth pre- ordering though need to add £3.99 for p&p.
Though the sweeping design of the Jone's does look better but I won't pay £130 for handle bars.

Been fighting the snow to get to work and back today. My tyre combo is front Schwalbe ice spiker with middle studs removed as it likes to skate on wet concrete when braking, rear is a kenda tyre that came with my bike, studs screwed into the inner side knobs, then an old tyre tread inside to protect the tube as the studs poked through a little. I found traction is actually better on the ice as it doesn't move, the snow drifts all over the place so I really have to concentrate, but satisfied I can safely negotiate it all with a bit of care.

I was XC skiing on my Fischer E99's....great fun, going out again tomorrow on the local golf course(not with the missus- too slow and poor technique lol)...
I've full Ice Spikers 2.1" on my 90's commuter- I've another bike with the minimalist ice spiker tyres (a row either side of the centre line) but in snow/tarmac+ice the full knobblies are best...
I'm refraining from using the e-bike while it's so far below zero....
