    modified my trail pro's yesterday.

    They were on one of the 200x's that I bought and I couldnt stand to throw them away. I cant stand how they fill up with mud and then you cant climb anything that looks like a hill. They will be going on the "slut" the cheap 200x that my buddies can ride if they want to go with me and dont have a bike.

    I cut them out with a sharp wood chisel heated up with a propane torch, but not cherry red. Just enough to glide under the rubber easily. I might take the ones out of the middle of the tire too. I have a ice cream bucket full of the triangle shaped chunks of tread. Ill figure out something to do with them.

    That actually makes them look like a halfway usable tire. I think you had the right idea leaving the center lug there though.

    No, he used Chuck Norris' man gravy, it took it a few hours, but it burnt through the trail pro hide.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    It must have been a nuclear powered chisel being operated by chuck norris. I though every one knew that was the standard operating procedure for cutting a .

    Good idea with the chizel and heat...Now you realize a thorough test followed by a ride report is in order, right?

    Test ride and report will follow after I get my new clutch put in. I ordered a new kevlar Barnett clutch kit with new metal discs and springs for it.

    I wasnt sure which shape of treat I wanted to cut out. I almost cut out the bars instead, but the triangle pieces gave the biggest tread void.
