I hope it snows, it snows and snows this winter ........

I've now ordered mine, woohoo! With the money I've saved on the same tyres from Amazon, I've also ordered one of these rear lights: http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k999/a4011/ix-red-senso-diode-rear-light.html?mfid=445

You should have ordered a bag of spare studs, I would have halved you it: looks like we gonna need them

I think a pair of thin electrician pliers will do the job
After refitting the studs, I will then send the wheel to you for refitting the marathon
I can be the brains, you can be the muscles

Deal, I'll send you my tyres and some studs for you to fit

Marathons 5 minute job

I can send you a few if you don't want to try Schwalbe? Got tonnes somewhere, can dig them out. I think I lost about 4-5 per tyre (doesn't affect performance very much) and they sent me about 20 in the post...

Not lost one on my Snow Studs (in 3 winters)

 

[mcshroom]

I've lost two in two winters from my snow studs, both from the rear wheel. I think not having any central studs helps.

Here
Mine were £51.00 delivered for the pair, I got 24's for the wee mbso

Oh no, don't tell me about 24" studded tyres - my son will be after them for his school bike

Maledizione! I wish I'd thought of that before I completed my order, I'd happily have given you a pile of studs free as a thank you for the tip.

If I buy anything else from that site I'll add on a big bag of spare studs and give you a shout.

Schwalbe will send you a pack of spares if you ask nicely via the contact form on their UK site

I got a pack from Scwalbe UK, very quick turn around after posting my request on their web site.

But ... Marathon Winters have 240 studs each so what is 3 or 4 missing between friends. I habe had my tyres for 3 winters now and use them every day from clock change to clock change. When it is not icy I use them at max pressure and then bring that down according to the conditions. I replaced one of the tyres last winter due to the rubber wearing out rather than a stud issue.

Well, haven't lost anymore today
So I'm really short just the one stud, as of the 3 that came off, 2 detached themselves at home, while I was inspecting the tyre.
Think I can live with just one missing. Should I loose more, I'll pm you. Cheers for that!

When I finally finish this never ending 65 hour working week, I'll have a look at the light you bought ... might splash out and get the bag of studs too.

Ah, the wee bike is great: when I'm more confident I will take the back derallieur away, shorten the chain.
already took the front one away.
We don't need no gears to get to work!

Am I having a stroke or is Pat speaking in tongues?

She doesn't want to tell us about this.
