Standard Skibike Conversion Kit for 26 Mountain Bikes
$ 499.98
This conversion kit allows you to convert virtually any bicycle into a "Skibike". Just remove your wheels and replace them with our ski brackets which have the same axles as your bike wheels, and you're ready to hit the slopes.
This standard kit is the kit for most all 26"-wheeled Cross Country Mountainbikes. It fits 100mm x 9mm front dropouts and 135mm x 9mm rear dropouts which are the industry standard.
Mounting triangles and foot pegs are extruded 6061 T-6 aluminum. They use standard 3/8" 26 thread-per-inch bicycle axles (140mm and 175mm lengths), which can be replaced with any standard axle set, and feature custom made torsion springs that keep the skis level while airborne. Whatever attitude the skis are in when you bolt them on, will be their neutral attitude when airborne. The skis should be level, or slightly tip-high when the bike is off the ground. These brackets are 2.35" wide with an axle height of 6".
This kit features a ski-bike-specific 99cm twin tip ski-board with a 50mm x 100mm insert pattern that allows you to bolt them to the brackets with no drilling. The ski is a stiff and durable sandwich construction with a 100mm tip width, 80mm waist width and 90mm tail width, featuring an 8 meter sidecut radius for easy turning and crisp edge-lock carving. This is the best ski I've ridden for all-mountain riding. It is narrow enough to track straight on the flats and offers quick edge to edge responsiveness, yet wide enough to float tip-high through deep powder. If you can only afford to have one pair of skis for your skibike, this is the pair. If all you ride is deep powder, then the Super BFS from Devin Lenz at Lenzsport.com is the ski for you.
The hole pattern on all our kits fits either 40mm x 40mm or 100mm x 50mm mounting holes. The standard kit is the kit that 95% of riders will need. If you have through-axles then you will need to individually select each appropriate size through-axle bracket (one front and one rear) from the list below. If you are unsure what you have, you can take a close-up photo of your axles and email them to me and I will tell you which kit you need, or if you Google the year, make and model of your bike, you can usually find the axle specs online.
