Finally got my hands on VEE rubbers Snowshoe. The snowshoe is supposed to be 4.7″ But the only measure around 4.3. Which suits the Mukluk just fine since it´s made for 4.0″ tires.
They fit fine in the frame but the chain line is a bit to tight with just 5 millimeter left to the tire when riding little chanin ring and biggest rear cog.
But i´ll have that sorted out as soon as my Oneup upgrade arrives. But more on that in future posts. =)
I had the morning off and took a little spin on the ice to test the snowshoes. Epic as always, it´s hard to get use to ice riding. This day i had a heavy head wind. But i still managed to ride out to our favorite bath spot during summer.
Here is the beach covered in ice…
It´s hard to believe this is the exactly same spot. Just check the coast line in the background.
The tires performed well. I had to experiment a bit with pressure before i got it right. But they felt awesome. Can´t wait to test them in more snowy conditions.
Oh, and when i got home i realized i had put them on backwards. But that´s taken care of now… =)
