Ez sent over his "how-to" on studding up his tires for the Ice-cycle race.

"It was time to stud up another set of tires for our ice race season as I am now racing a 29er.

Tire choice was easy as I wanted to have a good amount of knobs that are well spaced in a 29 x 1.9"-ish and the Kenda Karma 29 x 1.9" fit the bill exactly. In my opinion there is no need to have a wider tire as flotation is not desired but cutting down to the ice is paramount for traction. A good studded ice tire will have better traction than almost any other tire-surface combination as the studs bite in to the ice nicely.

Having procured the tires all I needed was time. For anyone thinking that they will just stud up a set of tires in no time—think again. I invested at least 4 hours per tire. Finding a comfortable seat, in my case the couch in front of the TV with a cycling DVD that does not require constant viewing.
