    If those spikes were 21/18 I would own them already.

    Re: Getting set up for ice riding

    What would make for a better ice bike:

    - DRZ400
    - TTR125L

    I'm thinking the TTR. Tell me how wrong I am.

    Re: Getting set up for ice riding

    I don't think the ttr would be as much fun considering not many people have small ice bikes. Wouldn't be able to keep up.

    Good point. I need to be faster than Roland on a 250.
    Looks like Kenda doesn't even make rears for a 16" anyway.

    Why do I need another set of wheels? Are they really that annoying to change?

    BRAP! Ordered a 21/18 set on eBay. Now all I need to get is normal front brakes and the CRf should be ready.

    Re: Getting set up for ice riding

    Want to jump on the thread. Looking for any cheap / free ice tires, some ideas for places to go, and potential riding buddies - preferably within an hour or two of Boston.

    I'll read this thread more closely sometime when I'm not at work 'cause it's wicked long.

    Actually changing would not be so bad with the Baja No pinch tool

    I'm not running front brakes on mine. Makes it that much easier.

    I've seen commercial tire machines pack their bags and walk off when challenged with full liner ice tires, I'm curious how the Baja would hold up.
