Raphael, how dare you resurrect an ancient thread for as mundane a
purpose as supplying the community with useful information? The
standard has been set: ancient threads should be revived only for the
purpose of adding a sentence or two of inane, misspelled commentary.
Emoticons and at least one OMG! must also be added.

Let's try to snap to the program here, shall we?

I made some for my mtn bike, I ran a couple hundred sheet metal screws
from the inside out of my tire. Then I cut an old tube and laid it over
and around the inner tube to protect it from the screw heads rubbing
and making a hole. When assembled, it looks totally badass and you will
not slip. Just use a tire that is more narrow so the points don't hit
the frame.

Here's another discussion of snow tires.

http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45022&

It seems there is two ways to handle snow.

With a good base a regular skinny tire is great since it cuts through
the snow and grips bare ground. Otherwise a wide tire floats on top of
the snow and then you need alot of grip. That is where chains would
come in.

The other is when there is snow on a ice base. Then floating is good,
but studs on a regular tire is also a good option since it cuts to the
ice then the studs grip.
