AndreZA Posted January 12, 2007 Share Anybody here ever tried cutting your own tread on your MTB tyres? Not talking about making tread out of slicks but cutting away a few knobbies to get better traction. I know the Rally guys go it depending on the stage they are doing. Just wondering.

NotSoBigBen Posted January 12, 2007 Share I wouldn't even think of going near my tyres with a knife, just rode over a piece of glass this morning and got another cut in my tyre! Imagine the damage I would inflict with a sharp knife in my hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted January 12, 2007 Share They have proper tread cutting guns, they're pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted January 12, 2007 Share Parra I think you have really lost it !!! Good for you man . But like BB said , DON'T DO IT . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted January 12, 2007 Share Interessant. Sou nice wees as mens 'n dik slick kon kry en self begin speel. Fietsbande soos ons hulle kry is te minimalisties en die rubber is so dun as moontlik om dit so lig as moontlik te maak. Nogal 'n interessante idee!!!!!!!

Thug Posted January 12, 2007 Share Never done it, but could imagine certain circumstances that would call for it depending on the tires on your rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranswurm Posted January 12, 2007 Share The F1 teams used to on occasion cut treads on slick tyres for slightly wet conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Posted January 12, 2007 Share A few of the serious Imana Wild Ride teams take 2.3's and grind/cut them down to semi-slicks for use on the beach, (It's hard to come by a 2.3 semi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
