Stud Removal

[torszula]

I want to omve studs on my track to a different part of the track. Will leaving the holes left by the stud be a problem at all?

I have put thousands of miles on many tracks with stud holes.Never a problem

Agree with pro116 never has a issue.

From what I've read studding a track can shorten its life. IMO If your planning on taking out studs and drilling even more holes in the track to change the stud pattern then you'll probably be shortening the life of the track even more.

Not studding a track will also shorten your life....

Make sure you burn the holes to help seal them.

LOL.. that's true..and I guess I should have added that I stud my track.. Its kind of a must round where I ride.. we get alot of hard icy conditions especially late season.

I ride mostly groomed trails, icy much of the time. I have 96 studs down the middle and 2 studs on the outside every other row for a total of 144. I bought the sled with this setup. I was thinking of removing the outside studs. Any opinions on the 96 down the middle vs all 144 with studs on the outside? The sled is an 08 Nytro.
