I run 1.575 megabites. Make sure to run your track tight and you won’t have any issues.
You can also use the search function as this topic has been discussed plenty of times.

Wow and that did push you in the corners. Good luck I’m sure there will be a lot of people chiming in.

I run 192 1.45" sharpened Megabites. Hooks like a cat on a screen door. Actually it hooks a little too good for a trail sled. I'd do 3 per bar next time.

I'm sharpening my Megabites as per your instructions as we speak. I'm dropping from 192 to 144. I'm anxious to try them on ice.
