Did you inherit an old kicksled without plastic runners? Has your kicksled lost its glide?
When it comes to snow-packed trails, streets and sidewalks; plastic runners are going to give your kicksled the glide and float you seek. In the long history of kicksledding, plastic runners are a relatively recent addition. Before plastic, kicksledders rode on the steel runners. Nowadays, riding on the steel runners is only common on ice and gritty conditions.
Plastic runners can be removed and replaced. Installing a plastic runner is best done at room temperature.
To install plastic runner: Each plastic runner stays secure on the steel runner by snapping to the steel and secured by looping a zip tie through both the plastic and steel runners.
To remove plastic runner: Cut the zip tie and peel the plastic runner off the steel.
