Riding longer distances with studs

Riding longer distances with studs

Can you ride a longer distance with studs in?

Answers from HayHay's experts

On a winter surface, absolutely. On tarmac or a frozen gravel road, take care if you ride at anything faster than walk. The studs stop the hoof sliding at all as it lands, which puts strain on the joints.
