All about courier ice races, including a photo of a studded bike tire: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2006/02/la-course-sur-la-glace.html You can buy them ready made, but they're way expensive, so most guys build their own. Studs are very impractical on roads, however. Wear down too fast and the grip on bare pavement is precarious at best. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
