Default Anyone tried ballistic buggy pink mini spikes on slippy floor?

As title, just wonder if anyone has tried them. I have an unused set but have been told they wont work as well as the yellow schumachers. They are much softer though and feel really grippy on my laminate.

I'd rather not mount them if there not too good, i'll put them on ebay

Any input?

Thanks in advance, Danny

Think you'll be wasting your time with the pinks. Schumacher yellow compound seems to be the only thing that works indoors!

Love BB Whites need a lot of cleaning to get the release agent off them but work straight away unlike schuie yellows where they need scrubbing in!

The latest batch of BB whites seem to have almost no release agent on at all, much easier to clean and install now

Seems to be what most people have said, reallyu wierd how a softer compound grips less.

I wish they would do the schumachers in their white compound, that stuff is brilliant on my mini 8ight.

its not that they grip less i think they would grip more then break away violently which makes it feel less grippy i run on polished floor and yellow minispikes work well til they are bald

Ye, I've got a set of mini spikes they working pretty well. I did go racing at newcastle on slippy floor a few weeks ago and full spikes were the tires of choice. They seemed to have way more grip, gonna try them on friday

Default BB Pinks

They work great on some wet astro tacks, but wear rather quickly. Use a harder insert to stop to much roll on the corners as there very soft.

Yellow pins work indoors mostly, great on carpet and OK on slippy, ish lol.....
