So i was wondering if anyone has ever put studs on the 50 and rode it on the ice. I know you guys in Alaska do it on your normal bike but did not know if you need more weight for it to work. Never really put studs in a tire before though, any site you know of that sell them and anywhere that could tell me how to put them on?

 

every once in a while a set will pop up on ebay. not sure who makes them, but you can put some in yourself. i think the company that makes some spikes is "kold kutters" or something like that. search on fiddy life you will find something i'm sure. people have vids, it looks pretty cool.

 

i believe Yates on here has studded tires for 50's of his own and has rode on the ice with out studs too..there is a few people in ny that stud tires up of the big bikes too

 

parts unlimited or tucker rocky dealers should be able to look em up in the dirt book the stud sets that is....I did it once on my motocross bike to make speed runs up and down the river when it was frozen

anyone have pics of a stunt bike or any road bike with studs in em???

this has been on my mind ever since the snow started to fall up here:YEAH

 

that would have to be the most boring thing ever puttin those studs in...

 

you wont ever understand how boring it is until you experience it....but the anticipation of all the fun gets you by

 

When you finish them make sure you don't let them touch anything but ice. They will get dull fast if you don't take care of them. I wrap mine with tire wraps every time my bike comes off the lake and they're as sharp as when I studded them. I used the hardened black ones too, a little more expensive but more durable.

 

hey crash411 can you post some pics of your finished products...I've never seen a street bike tire done up....

+1 on the taking care of them...however I used mine on a really hard packed motocross track once and it was the best traction I've ever had...

 

In the 2005-2006 street punishment dvd they did a 5-7 min part on ice. Looked fun as hell.

If my damn dirtbike would start in the cold i would stud it. The oil gets crazy heavy though and its a bitch to kick over.

 

what type of bike....I've ridin in the cold and it may be tough but just warm it up right when you pull it out of the garage...unless you are rocking like a 99 xr650 it should start with a good choke and a handful of kicks....

I know what you mean about kicking a cold motor, I used to ice race. I will get some pics of my streetbike tires on here, I used race rain take offs for studding but a regular streetbike tire works too (see Joe Beavers bikes pics on here from VMC)

 

This pic is awesome. I so want to try this.

 

can u circle on ice???

 

i checked out that kold kutter link and there are different sizes, which one should i get?

 

I also wonder this....because on my dirt bike I had lugs that I would drive them into...but a street tire is not as thick as a dirtbike tire with lugs...wondering if driving them all the way through then using a grinder on the inside to smooth it out and run a tube?????

 

real russian winter has come.huge snowdrifts are everywhere!but russian people are not afraid of anything!so 10 brave russians decided to have fun.to be more courageous and bold we drunk some vodka and... started up our old bike URAL (which is 15 yers old) and went to the field(wher there were 1 meter hight snowdrifts).we had a really extreme entertainment!!then we took pretty russian girls and went to the Russian baths!

 

go to verticalmischief's forum, there's a whole thread on how to properly do this.
