The below video is from last year. I'm trying to upload a new one now. You can click on the lower right corner to bring the video to full screen.

I just scored another wheel so I can leave studs mounted. After XMas I'll try and grab a set, finish my service, and try it. It will at least open up spring early instead of waiting for ice out.

Oh man I've been look'n real hard for an extra set of rims...I'll even spoke them up if that's what it takes.

Where did you find them Glen?

Here's my old Vid....I know most have already seen it. But it still gives me motivation to ...

After doing Tubliss mounts lately and seeing how fast it is, I'm going to do all tires that way from now on.

The rocky hills I must climb here are half ice from re-frozen run off, like an off camber glacier in spots. Thought about riding last week so I took the dog for a hike to check it out, no way on just rubber! If only the lake I live on allowed motorized toys, the ice is 8" thick already.

Clay,

You guys are lucky for the most part but you do get those freak ice storms. Hell, when I was in Houston two years ago in Dec it snowed!

GMP,
You're right about the freak ice storms but they can be fun. I like to watch the yankees passing thru try to show us southerners how to drive, not realizing that it rained before it snowed. Good entertainment! :)

I'm wondering the same thing ... but norm and joe chod and a number of other guys claim to ride all winter just fine on their 125's. I'd be on hard packed sled trails and the single track we ride gets groomed up by the riding. Generally if people are riding around here it is on hard frozen snow. the kind of stuff you stay on top of ...

125 works fine and I expect the 144 to be even better! When it starts getting too deep, nothing works well, regardless of HP. Time to break out the sled then! We need more snow, even to ride bikes with studs or screws. Plenty cold though!
 
maybe its better than it looks in the piture, i only ride ten masters for the last 3 years and i find them much easier to put on than a winter friction, my ten masters i run are four ply and my winter friction trelles are 8 ply and every year have a hell of a time but just with the winter friction.it just looks like from the pic you couldnt get leverage on such a stiff wall tire but ill take your word for it if it works good!
 
K&L tire tool

We use one of those in our shop. They work quite well. We actually use it more on the old tube type Harley rims more than on dirt bike tires. We have been using it for a couple of years now and haven't bent it yet.
 
We did actually have some snow flurries here on the Gulf Coast yesterday. The temps never got out of the 30s. Three of us rode the Bethel ATV trail in Desoto National Forest. We were the only fools out there. I took my camera, but was having so much fun I forgot it and got no photos.

Well it is a Tropical 60 degrees here in Houston Texas. Those spikes might help to give us traction on our tree roots.:D I wish it was cold!

If you got your butt out on Sunday, it would have been 30 and awesome conditions.... but noooo! Girard could have just slopped a little more oil in the forks and gone riding, just wipe the goo off.
 
well we finally made it out after the weather finally let up here in alberta. first day it was above zero and not dumping snow.its been a long winter up here this year, we usually would have been out half dozen times already so heres hoping to the sun sticking around!! heres a few pics of the scenery and the gassers
