I've got a Maxxis Minion DH 2.35 tyre kicking about at home. Realistically I'm not going to use it, so was thinking about converting it to a studded tyre. Been looking online for different guides and found a couple - on this icebike.com page, and some general info on this snowbikers.com page.
Has anyone else done this? Experiences, advice, pictures welcome please! Specifically: what to use for the studs; patterns and number of studs needed; how much stud do you want showing through the tyre for it to be effective.
Think for now I'll make it up onto a spare front wheel, to stick on when the commute gets worse (iced roads and paths, frozen snow/slush. Have got an old inner tube to use as a protector on the inside of the tyre.
Interested to see what difference it makes - if none, then at least I've passed on an evening bike fettling, which is never a bad thing.
Thanks in advance
