Snow wheeling was SO fun a couple weekends ago. In the first video he shows a couple rigs trying to get out of a ditch / rut. The cutting brake worked SOOO good for this. Grab the uphill rear brake with rear unlocked and i was able to pop out of ruts that even much bigger tire folks couldn't get out of.
Chains are so under utilized from snow wheelers IMO. If you're in ice big tires dont help and chains are immensely useful.
I didn’t know about cutting/turning brakes until reading your post. That’s a sweet setup!
Can anybody recommend a good brand/style of chain for 31" tires?
What should I look for in a set of chains?
Mostly for the trail, but also, maybe to get to the trail.
Any good cross-bar style chains work better for snow wheeling. On road use you'll want to reduce your speeds. Les Schwab sells some good steel tire chains.
Here is a online place. https://www.tirechainsrus.com/car-v-bar-link-tire-chains-235-75r15-details.html These are nice.
Perfect. Thanks for the tip! I seem to be getting on the trail a bit more often and hitting snow, so it is about time to add some good chains to the gear.
