Hockey390 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey, my next trip is to silver lake, never been to the dunes before, and a guy I know said I should jump up about 5 teeth on my rear sprocket.. Good idea or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uoavitar Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I was wondering the same thing also. I've never been on the dunes yet but I'm planning on going on a trip next month. I run 12-44 right now for trail riding. I would imagine I would need more wheel spin for the sand. I'd like to know what combo others are riding with.

Master of Faster Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 When you headed over? I'll be there on Thursday. The gearing really depends on what you're gonna be doin most. For drag racing in the flats I like to run 15/41, problem is the flats have been flooded over there this year and they probably still are. Most of the racing has been goin on the first hill where you really need the lower gearing so you can at least pull second otta the hole in the soft sand, the holeshot is almost the entire race. I'm headed over this time with stock gearing 14/41. My buddy runs 13/41 on his stock Banshee and does good in short races and up the hills. If you're just goin out there to play around and have fun just run whatever you run in the trails, just about anything works. The hills aren't that knarly, you'll have no problem.

Hockey390 Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 ya, thats what i was thinking... Wouldnt effect me that much cause I plan on just riding around and shit.. I'm sure if I meet up with some fellow HQers I will line up if they want, but for the most part I'm just out to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTShee Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) I was running 16/41 the other day at the dunes, It felt pretty good, I dont drag race though, I just like to go fast down the beach and cruise around Edited July 12, 2004 by XTShee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
