I think I would sooner get one of these before I try the tedious task of installing my own studs: https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/studded
I am definitely willing to give heated grips a try.

I started looking at them after reading DrkAngel's Snow Beast thread. They don't look like they draw too much current. Folks I know with them on motorcycles say they're pretty effective.
Pre-studded tires would certainly save a lot of work. However, when it comes to fat tires (4.5+ inches wide) the price for pre-studded tires seems to be around $200 USD minimum per tire for something with a half-decent tread pattern !thundercamel said:I think I would sooner get one of these before I try the tedious task of installing my own studs: https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/studded

Yes, that stuff is very tenacious. I still have some from my past gone MC days. I had thought it might be too thick. Will have to try some.pwd said:To lube, I've been using some motorcycle chain oil (viscous like maple syrup) on each roller, mostly because I got it for free and seems to hold up ok.
Thanks for that. My environment is mostly consistent rain, so lots of puddles and thrown up grit.pwd said:That combination also seems to keep the chain from rusting, even with some exposure to road salt.
