liquid chain?
Re: liquid chain?
Used it quite a few times and it works OK, even on ice.

Liquid snow chain
Improves tyre traction on snow and ice
Effective for approximately 40 miles
Will not damage tyres, roads or driveways
Quickly wears off after contact with dry tarmac
Apply to drive wheels only
Occasional use
Re: liquid chain?
I used in on a 30 mile commute and it lasted. The can says 50 miles but I haven't tested it.
I used it once and was riding on ice covered with water and was unable to stop as there wasn't enough grip to put my feet down to support the bike but the tyres still gripped enough to filter around the stuck traffic.

Re: liquid chain?
I'm intrigued, anyone know just how this works? Does it form a rough grippy surface layer or melt into the snow?

Re: liquid chain?
I could have done with that on the soles of boots today! I'm only commuting on my bike just now because my car is in the garage but when I tried to stop at either end I was lucky to hold the bike up when I put my feet down! hmy:
Re: liquid chain?
It is a very sticky resin suspended in solvent. Spray it on and leave it for 5 minutes for the solvent to evaporate and ride away. It's a bugger if you get it on your hands or bike parts so be careful where you spray.Flightrisk wrote:I'm intrigued, anyone know just how this works?

B)
So is this stuff the same as the product that been around for years Belt grip?
as used on fan belts and the agriculture boys on combines and other belt operated machinery to stop them squealing and slipping, sticks like smelly stuff to a blanket for a period of time.
