from Manchester England Date Reviewed: December 19, 2010 Strengths: Wow, these things are amazing on ice and snow...they allow you to ride up tracks that are coverd in solid sheets of ice on the trails...what was previously un rideable is now a new line...cannot believe how well these things grip on ice, was riding up hill on solid ice, with no problems...brain could not quite believe it!!! Weaknesses: well they are very heavy at almost 1000grams each, but the grip they give you more than makes up for this, also as you run them at quite a low pressure riding on tarmac is very slow... but there meant for off road so not to much of a problem... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Around edale Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $125.00 Purchased At: ebay germany Similar Products Used: tyres with-out spikes on the ice...not a good idea at all Bike Setup: scott spark, its still got some original bits..lol

from Menomonie, WI, USA Date Reviewed: December 14, 2009 Strengths: Amazing traction on snow/ice! Durable studs (none have pulled out after 2 years of riding to class every day) I say that I still have 3 years of riding left before they start to wear down pretty far. Weaknesses: These are pretty heavy. Naturally they should be, because of all the studs.. but the pros and nokians have aluminum that saves over 200 grams. Noisy on pavement, and that's true with every studded tire. The steel inserts are also rusting a little bit. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Nokians Bike Setup: I ride a Schwinn homegrown

from Bellingham, WA Date Reviewed: December 14, 2009 Strengths: These tires are amazing on ice and snow. When the trails and pavement are icy or snow packed, Ice Spikers keep traction much better than other studded knobbies that I've tried. They shed snow, so the tread doesn't pack with ice/snow. The tread pattern works in snow, rutted ice and glare. Weaknesses: Expensive. But, so are similar tires from other companies. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lost lake Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $90.00 Purchased At: Kulshan Cycles Similar Products Used: Nokian Bike Setup: Trek 8500 hardtail. Shimano Deore XT. I keep air pressure between 35-40 psi in front and rear for ice and snow.

from Calgary, Alberta, Canada Date Reviewed: January 19, 2009 Strengths: Unbelievable traction and stopping power in all conditions. Weaknesses: Heavy and slow, but it's a winter tire not a summer race tire, so no complaints. Pricy, but they'll last for years so the value is actually good relative to a high performance summer tire.

Spinergy Disc wheels.
