how well do studs hold up 2 pavement?
i get to the trail by driving up the road by my house around 300 yards right to the start of the trail
i go up and down this at least once a day
how will studs hold up to this and also (dumb question) can u still spin ur track a bit when u go out in a bit of powder or will they might pull out?

If you don't spin the track there will be no damage done to the studs. Carbide wear rods are another story

Ha I agree with mighty. At night with the carbide wear rods you can see the $parks fly.
No, on powder or even non ice hard pack you wont really hurt anything spinning the track. Rocks under a thin amount of snow are rough on them as well as excessive spinning on ice.

check out wheels
You might want to check out these wheels .They save your studs and carbides for going down roads or pulling in to gas stations. Carbides dig into the pavement especially duals and that causes track and studs to spin.

AS LONG AS YOU DONT NAIL THE GAS AND SPIN THE TRACK ALOT YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM.

Re: check out wheels
Here are some pics of the Retrax installed on a Vector. I rode with a guy last year that had these and they worked great. Probably not needed for you mountain riders, but for us folks that have to ride the road once in a while they might pay for themselves by the time you need a new sled. Only problem is they are very expensive for what they are, $200. But they will save your back from having to drag the sled around in a gas station.
