Ready for Winter!

I 3D printed some skis today, they actually work quite well!



Sorry for the poor quality. You would think for having a 3D printer, I would have a better camera, but no. In that aspect, I'm still stuck in 2004...

Those tires won't, though!

I know, I know, I have some cool old chunky dynamite tires for when I put these on my gold pan, but for my B3 this is as chunky as it gets for now

We always ran screws in the rear tires. Installed with the head showing for go, or thread showing for show! Both worked one was significantly less dangerous

That would look absolutely evil

[Coelacanth]

If I had spare dough burning a hole in my pocket (seems I never do, though...), I'd pick up a set of those. I wonder though, how would you change your gear ratio to account for the much-increased friction by running those? Has anybody tried them yet and have suggestions?

[MotoObscura]

My guess is you wouldn't have to change gear ratio much, if at all. The drive cog is much smaller diameter than a normal wheel, so that would essentially gear it down for you.
