    I have half a bag of 5/8th inch cold cutters left, and maybe a bag of gold ice screws. Cold cutters are what you want.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    I have to leave Sunday for a week in NY for work. Looks like it will have to be next weekend for me too... I should be home for a while after this job so I can play more. That could change??? I'll try to get those Tech Screw tomorrow and see what I can do it order to ride next weekend.

    Welcome to Woodall Fastening Systems!

    The "Jeep" of self-tapping screws. Not sure I'd want to try those in a knobbied tire. Most cycle shops carry some type of Kold Kutter screws

    They are simple/cheap way of getting great traction on the ice. They are basicly a machine screw with a 1/4 head for gripping the ice. They come in 1/2 & 3/4 length, this is the portion that is driven into your tread. If your tread is worn a lot then you will be safer going with the 1/2". The 3/4 has a better chance of not getting pulled out if by chance you do some trail riding and catch a log or something...

    One bag is about 500 screws for $50, enough to do both tires!

    ice riding

    So I manage to keep the bike up on 2 wheels, avoiding any riding injuries.

    How ever, mx boots aren't the best for traction when standing or walking on ice. By the time I realized I was slipping my feet were already out from under me and I was laying flat on my back on the ice, good thing I had a helmet on I guess. I did smack my elbow pretty good and its got a good bruise forming already.

    Perhaps I should stud up my boots for next time......................

    I hear the hot setup is just a few sheet metal screws underneath the toe area.

    I hate the idea of puting something in the boot, we pretty much slam our feet on the ice in a corner, I'd hate to have the boot grab and end up pulling someone off their bike, ice is hard when you hit it and I don't imagine the studded hoops of the rider behind you will feel to good as they run you over...

    On a side note, i did fall on my ass today because of no boot traction while standing still.
    We had a great day today...sport quads are way more fun on ice than bikes
