It’s a design that’s intended for ease of use over outright performance. A larger strip of rubber is then used to form a band which secures the entire assembly to the wearer’s shoes. Steel nuts are included at various points to help grip the ice in inclement conditions. The tubes are cut into a series of bands which are woven together in a hexagonal pattern. Scrap inner tubes are the key here, providing a source of hardy rubber for the build.
wanted to be surefooted in the coming season, and decided to build a set of crampons. Naturally, if you’re trying to get down to the hackerspace when it’s cold out, you’ll look for solutions. Slipping on ice hurts like hell if you’re lucky, and can cause serious injuries if you’re not. If you’re living somewhere that gets icy in the wintertime, you know the sidewalk can be perilous.
