No more studded tires

Rode my Nokian Extremes for the last time yesterday evening. I had some
advantage on the left over ice fields, but my buddies did OK and could often
go around the ice. Hehe there were a couple of icy hills where I didn't have
to walk and they did, but that will be gone in only days now. It was really
wet and mucky though. But oh soooo.... nice to be back whithout all that
winter gear. Only two weeks ago we couldn't make it through and had to
carry our bikes through the snow. As soon as I post this I am going out to
but my Schwalbe UST Jimmys back on. Those tires will be really nice until
everything dries up. Been thinking about putting some Schwalbe Fast Freds on
later in the spring when it gets harder underneath. Lots of rocky slabs and
dirttrails covered with roots in between. Any comments?

Took mine off a few weeks ago here in New England. Lost @ 10 studs in the
rear and a few up front this year. Do you bother to replace them?

I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing.
The rest I've just wasted.

I've only lost two studs on my Extremes and none on my W240 on the hybrid.
So I wouldn't bother. I didn't even know you could replace them. How is that
done?

It was a trick question Perre. I've been told that Nokian doesn't sell
replacement studs here in the US. I was wondering if they were available in
Europe. Some studded tire mfg's have a stud replacing procedure.
