B.Mag Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Im just wondering how many of you guys ride on the ice, and how you set up your shee for it. I want to do it this winter, and I've started putting snowmobile studs in my tires and I just want to know what other mods you guys do. any input would be great, thanks in advance.

87sheerips Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yep I use 3/4" chisel snowmobile studs. It is such a blast man, if not my favorite terrain to ride on its very close! Use screws if you want to slide around, etc... Its about a 20 yard turning radius with the studs LOL Make sure u have AT LEAST 4-5" of ice bro.

I have a set of 4 tires with screws in them from a blaster, but I figured the banshee would just throw the screws or chew off the treads. How do you stud the tires with the snowmobile studs? I want to stud the rear tires that are in my sig. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a ktm 300 xc dirtbike. that thing ripped hard. and it never tore a hole. screws would come out every now and then. but they can be replaced easily by putting another screw in.

Larry's Shee Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 It depends wether your'e going to play or sanctioned racing. Check the orginization for regulations. I think with sled spikes you need inner tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) If you get inch screws you will be fine. 3/4 is good to, they will pull out from time to time. You don't need a tube with picks because there is really no-were for air to get out. In Wisconsin as soon as their is 2 inches we are out. Just be careful were you stop, going in sucks. like my buddy who had a blaster http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=31171108 Edited September 27, 2009 by Nieskes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
