|  Ski wax in winter? | Kami Jan 5, 2002 10:56 AM | | Anyone tried using XC ski wax instead of tar in the winter? How does that work? I'm trying to find ways to make brakes work in the wet. |

The proven methods are a grind or disk brake... |
|  kickwax would work | 8speed Jan 9, 2002 7:19 PM | | what you need is kickwax, not wax. wax is slick and helps a ski glide, and would decrease brake power. kickwax is similar to tar, you put it under the foot on an XC ski without a kickpad to increase traction. it's super tacky, but pretty nasty and a total pain in the arse to clean. it probably would work pretty well, though. |
