Ski Bike Build

Build Pics:http://picasaweb.google.com/rodpontemayor/SkiBikeBuild#
Here's my home made ski bike conversion kit that will turn any bike into a ski bike. Simply bolt a pair of ski blades to my triangle brackets then bolt the brackets where the wheels would normally mount to the bike. Check out my photo link for build up details:

hey could you post a video of how to build those brackets

[rodpontemayor]

@DevynD13 i didn't shoot any footage while making them. i took pics though. follow this link in the video info to the album

how did u make the triangle brackets and how did u bolt the triangle brakets to the skiis without going through.

[rodpontemayor]

@k38football1 the skiis are ski blades. i used the original threaded holes that were used for the bindings to attach the triangle brackets

hey! Im going to do one like this, in one of these days, and I want to know if its easy to go with it? I am a mountain bike racer, but I cant go with the ski, is this problem?

[rodpontemayor]

@baszki It's actually very east to ride! Its like riding a bike!! Hahhaha! Nah but seriously its very simple. just lean back and forth to carve. The main difference is no brakes. you have to skid to stop. Small slopes are no problem, but when it gets steep and speed builds thats when it gets sketchy! Good luck

you obviously thought of this, and I was wondering what trouble you encountered with this: why didn't you just weld the cranks in place? Instead of putting the pedals right next to the frame giving it an akward feel

[jackcroot1]

so for the pedals, did you basically just take out the insides of the pedals, and put a threaded bar straight through the bb slide the pedals on to the bar and put nuts on the end?

[MrDevan96]

what are the demensions of the brackets and the degrees of the angled triangle i would like to make some and my dad is going to weld it together so i can put on my mountain bike cause i live in ohio and we get plenty of snow hahah

The best type of skis to use are called Skiboards which have 4cm x 4cm metal inserts and wood cores -- you are asking for trouble without the inserts and foam cored ski blades. Cheap ones would be from Snow Jam and and quality ones are from Revel8. Check out the skiboardsonline dawt com forum to find some used pairs cheap -- you could also use older Line Skiboards such as the Mike Nick Pros.

Do the triangle brackets swing on the spots wheels were? Just wondering because I am going to build on myself.

Thanks, and great video.

I like it, I want to make one but I don't have any ski's or anything, what else could I use or where could I get ski's for cheap?
