j0hn Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 So I applied some of that Tyre-Grip stuff and I can definitely notice better traction. One of the more difficult parts of my commute is actually coming out of the driveway and crossing the frozen footpath. I used to notice slight rear wheel skids before but after applying Tyre-Grip, I didn't feel any skidding. Though I don't know if this is because of some placebo effect. I was also able to go around 57mph riding up an inclined section of a motorway which usually max around 45 - 50 mph. I guess I'll know how good they really are when I come across more ice ahead.
paul-666 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Just seen this thread and I can say I have riden my bike threw all the bad weather and it was ok a few scary moments but stayed on threw the bad times . The only bad thing was my hands would be nearly blue by the time I got to work lol and I had a great time in the snow going sideways along the street was along my back street was fun when I got used to it but most of all enjoyed taking the hit and miss out of the fair wearer riders LOL
