Mine are worn slightly after 4 months last winter and I was wondering how much os a faff replaceing them is? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8626#post-87059 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:44:51 +0000 Dave 87059@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's not a winter tyre - <a href="http://mccraw.co.uk/schwalbe-marathon-winter-review/">but this is!</a></p> <p>All a question of perspective of course. If you normally ride on sub-200g race tyres then it's easy to call a 350g tyre 'heavy' (even though three of them weigh the same as one 'proper' winter tyre). </p> <p>Personally, I'd consider most of those tyres summer tyres as cr suggests - but the article isn't exactly aimed at "citycyclists", but roadies who probably won't head out if the conditions are actually inclement. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8626#post-87038 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:05:58 +0000 DaveC 87038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've seen a few home bru winter tyres. Mostly involves stubby screws through an old mtb tyre with a lot of gaffertape on the inside. Usually involving a beefy set of bolt cutters to take the sharp heads off the screws. </p> <p>I have a pair of Scwabe Snow tyres I'm going to fit next month. Two rows of studs with a nice sharp tread of rubber in the middle for road traction. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8626#post-87033 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:47:58 +0000 Peterward2008 87033@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Friend at work did DIY snow and ice tyres last year....</p> <p>Went ok apparently. </p> <p>Will ask him how he did made them if theres interest here. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8626#post-87031 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:44:48 +0000 crowriver 87031@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em><strike>Winter</strike> Scottish 'Summer' Tyres Buyers guide</em></p> <p>FTFY</p> <p>We need a snow and ice stud tyres buyers guide for winter... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8626#post-87024 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:18:28 +0000 Peterward2008 87024@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You may be interested in this.</p> <p><a href="http://road.cc/content/buyers-guide/68578-buyers-guide-best-tyres-get-you-through-winter">Winter Tyres Buyers guide</a></p> <p>Good write ups for the gator skins here. </p>
