Studded Gazz

[hell-on-wheel]

Worn-out gazz + $15 of hardware + 3 hours labor =

Hell on Wheel incarnate!

1" screws were probably overkill, but...you know.

First test-run.

(can you only insert images from the web now?)

BTW, I used #8-32 x 1" flat head screws with a strip of duct tape to
cover the heads.

Yeah, when they're that long, they just fold over anyway. I never make
mine stick out more than 1/4 inch. I made one for my 26 inch muni last
year. It was great fun on the day we had an ice storm.

Yeah, I'm beginning to see the limitations of long studs. The idea was
for deep snow, but then it's kinda fun to slide around in snow anyway.
I'm scared to try it on pavement, but on soft dirt it just seems to
create a lot of rolling resistance. We'll see how it does in the
snow...still a fun project though, sure looks badass.

I'm sure if you try it you will see that studs don't help riding in deep
snow. look at the surface area of a stud, it won't give much traction
in snow. The thing that studs help with is ice and hard packed snow,
alternately, if the tire can cut down to a hard base under the powder
snow, the studs would help.

There is a b*king site that talks about riding in the winter:
http://www.icebike.org/Equipment/tires.htm

If you just put the 1/2" screws in at the edge of the tire sticking out
a 45 degree angle you can ride on pavement but you still have plenty of
grip on ice and snow pack. A strip of screws down the center making
pavement and ice riding hard, on both you and the tire. If the screws
are too long they will fold and not grip to their full potential.

That makes sense. I'll probably shorten them later, after I really test
it out for myself. Til then (doesn't snow here often), it's back to my
plain-old, only moderately badass gazz.

1"? Dude you're insane (and I know, as I was riding an alike tyre once
ago).
Have a look at the hardware list at the bottom of 'this page'
(http://www.unicyclist.org/cont/ice.cfm)
And make sure to check back in about one week!

My cousin has this bridge the we jump off of into water near his house.
Once, he jumped on a uni and I shot a picture of it when he was about
an inch off the water. From the angle of the pic you cant tell and it
looks like he's riding on the water. He even has wazy brown hair.
