| | | Hmmm, I've never tried them, though I think about them every winter when I'm riding to work on ice-covered streets. I remember riding home one night, seeing a van coming down the street the other way, and then noticing that the vans wheels were not spinning. At that point I just hopped off my bike and walked on the sidewalk for a bit. Somehow, though, I've managed to ride 7-8 winters on slick skinny-ish tires. I've seen people make studded tires with drywall screws and duct tape (for lining the tire), but I think they used really durable tires, and even then the results looked clumsy. If I go with studded tires this winter, I'll probably just buy a set. -N

| | | Posted by NV Drum brakes would work with the tire/chain idea, too. Drum brakes are not that common on bikes here in the U.S., I think because American bikes are usually designed with more sporty-type endeavors in mind, whereas European bikes are generally more commuter-tourish and therefore more drum-brake friendly. -N
| then disc brakes? they are fairly common here in canaduh. not sure about emerica. but im guessing so. most high end bikes come equiped with discs. a set will run you about 100 bux on ebay.
