Glide through on snow with ease. Plastic snow runners maximize your kicksled glide. There are several different length and width options available. Each kicksled sold by Kicksled Alaska includes a pair of standard width (36mm) runners. Over time they may need to be replaced.
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.
After a fresh dusting of snow or in soft snow conditions, the wider Powder Runners distribute the sled weight better, giving the driver more control, stability and performance.
Installing plastic runners 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.
Do not use hot wax iron on these runners, they will melt. At colder temps, applying a rub-on or spray-on ski wax may improve glide.
