marathon winters and vibration?

[potsy]

Given that the bedding in has to be done on tarmac and is to help seat the studs properly so they don't get ripped out as easily when they hit bumpy and rutted ice & snow, then yes, I think you chose the wrong route, you muppet.

Thank you norm

Have E-mailed Schwalbe to find out where to get replacements, obviously telling them how carefully I rode on the smooth cycle lanes

Thank you norm

Any time... muppet.

It appears you can get replacements but I bet they are a bugger to fit. Good luck!

Especially after all of the little holes have filled with mud and muck

Well, I got an E-mail from Schwalbe and they are sending me some replacement studs FOC, so big thumbs up to them
The guy there did say they were a bit fiddly to fit, I'll let you know when they arrive and have spent the day trying

they're dead easy to fit even for a muppet like potsy........just use a pair of pliers and twist them in.

I'm surprised you lost many - I haven't lost a single stud on my snow studs in two winters.

I shall pop them on the MTB soon (ish) !

Well if a monkey like Shaun can do it......

I've lost a few studs but that can be attributed to an unexpected high speed manoeuvre & locking the rear wheel up.
