    hah ya it was like that at mm 178 chain station on the west side of Vail Summit Pass. i had to wait a few minutes for a spot.

    but no one said anything about my time. CSP was friendly and helpful and came over and checked my chains for being tight and sent me on my way.

    39 minutes aint too bad for a girl on only her second time chaining up.

    My take on the Spiders versus regular bungies, if the Spiders crack in cold temperatures then I don't want them. I use three bungies per tire, which achieves the same thing at less than half the cost. Also, regular bungies can be used for a lot more than just chaining, they are more versatile than the Spiders.

    See!!!???

    That's exactly what I'm saying. Try holding your sexy panties on with spider bungies. Not going to be pretty.
