hi guys!
i thought anyone can help me with this... a while ago i heard of spraying the tyres with an ordinary hair spray in order to get more grip... as i remember that was a kind of TV audition on snow mountain biking, and a bunch of guys gave their idea what to do to get more grip. there was this hair spray together with some other layers that made the grip really good.

i don't need it for heavy snow condition, rather for tricky city conditions during winter time, as far as i moved to live in sweden for a while...
i'm fed up with falling down 5 times a day on my way to work...

thanks in advance

thanks, you people, looks like the only thing you are good at is wearing latest clothing and the most expensive tyres...

thanks anyway, good call that was...

I find Elmer's wood glue works the best. If that doesn't work try epoxy just make sure you don't add to much of part B to part A.

Hope this helps.
