BrianEb Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I know most of the pros who race dirt run that 8" rim. But what about a 8" rim mounted with paddle tires. Is there a traction difference with the 8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I know most of the pros who race dirt run that 8" rim. But what about a 8" rim mounted with paddle tires. Is there a traction difference with the 8" I have run the 10"s and 8"s on my paddles and I'll never go back to anything larger then an 8"s again. The weight difference is amazing. No traction difference that I could tell but the unspun weight difference is a lot. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less weight also, really makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
