New snowbike scratcher

[M5-]

Digging this old thread out of the archives of snow bike history. Anybody ever try these scratchers? I see they are still selling them, but I've never seen anyone actually running them. This season the trails have been rock hard every morning and most evenings as well even on the sides, it's never really been an issue before in 10 seasons of biking but this year scratchers might be handy. I'm not all that jacked about drilling into my Yeti rails for regular scratchers. Once in the alpine we've been finding good riding but getting has been painful.

The cable scratcher attached to the back of the ski is what I have and seems to work well.

they work and are handy to use. three years and still function as new.

Thanks that's exactly the feedback I was hoping for. Pulled the trigger on one this am.

Been using the duraflex solo for a few years now on multiple bikes and it works great.

Rode 6 days this week, probably did 40 miles in the ditch off the groomed trail, which is like concrete, now the ditches are getting a bit skinny too. On a positive note, it was nuking yesterday all day. Scratcher will be here Tuesday.
