Yes, you can remove the studs and still use that track. I never been a huge fan of studs I've seen my buddy's throw studs through heat exchangers many times.

Weird, I've been running studs since the 70's, never thru 1 out of the track or wrecked a heat exchanger.

Yes you can remove the studs and not hurt the track at all. But why would you want to? Give them an honest try. Once you realize the benefits of them, you won't ride without them.

People chuck studs because they don't maintenance their shit. You should be inspecting them often

If you ride aggressively, you WILL put a stud through a heat exchanger; it's a matter of time. Even if you check them annually, tighten, replace bent ones, etc.

Listen, I've dragged raced on grass and ice for over 50 years, & I trail ride very aggressively, never ripped out a stud. Angle backers make a major difference to prevent that from happening.

I don't want the damage to my concrete garage floor with studs. In 55 years of riding never needed or wanted them

I have plywood on the garage floor, and use a hi-wheeled dolly to move the sleds around.
