jeez, good luck mate, planning on a trip to the ice rink on your bike?

only thing i found was this: http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/studdedtires.asp no 24" listed, but could contact them?!

I was riding in ice and snow in Canada this year on mich comp 16's, was quite sketchy but surprising amount of grip tbh...

For snow use mud spikes mate.

Watch the vid's from the likes of the invitational event in Tignes, the Atherton's etc etc etc all just use spiked mud tyres, no need for metal spikes unless you're on sheet ice.  Having ridden the Mega on snow last year on 16's I wouldn't bother with them either.

Panaracer Spikes or Michelin Muds come to mine

I run Muds in the wet and those babies hurt if the bike clobbers you after a bail!

Or what about Gazzaloddi's?  I seem to remember most snow bikes running these on beasty wide custom rims?  A 2.3 on wide rim should do the job though?

just got back from the chill factor, and its a thin layer of snow with ice just under, so i belive spikes are in order.


just wanted to see if anyone knew of a 24" studded tire, didnt want to ruin a new one by drilling silly amount of holes in it.


cheers anyways.


but if you do know,,,. let me know befor i finish ma new bike an about 2 weeks.
