I figured this is a pretty general question, so thats why i put it in the lounge.....
So i'm tired of not being able to ride my bike around campus and town, since there is so much snow now......well i guess i can still ride my bike, but it's pretty slow going even with big 2.5/2.7 minions.....anyway, my tires are getting to the end of their life, and i figured it wouldn't be a big deal just to ruin them and run a bunch of short screws into the knobs....
Now simply putting really short screws (1/4" or 1/8") into the knobs, and running some tape on the inside of the tire (to protect the tube) seems really simple.....but is that all there is to it?
anybody have some experience with doing studs themselves?
should i use traction compound on the screws (traction compound is used for rc cars to break down the rubber slightly, and make it more tacky) so they wont fall back out?
