ellison445 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Rear, I would run Sandsharks on .160 or Haulers... Fronts, I have no clue, I just have some bullshit kendas on mine that do the trick :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumpaD_Z28 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) IMHO REAR: Skat Trak Hauler EXTREMES in 21x12x8 10 paddles on .160 douglas black labels $273 for the pair from RMATV http://www.rockymountainatv.com FRONT: Skat Track mohawk 21x7x10 on .160 douglas black labels $200 for the pair from RMATV You could run the lighter .125 Douglas blue labels if you want to, BUT this is the combo I like ~DaVe Edited February 15, 2007 by BumpaD_Z28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 lightest rims would be douglas .125" thick. You can get a whole super light tire package with rims from cascade though. I would get a set of 10 paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White06Shee Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Why The 8" Rim Though?? In The Rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Why The 8" Rim Though?? In The Rear Lighter than a 10", 8" is less rotating mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White06Shee Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Lighter than a 10", 8" is less rotating mass. i see haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunyabinness Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Lighter than a 10", 8" is less rotating mass. i call bullshit. and here's why i say that... which weighs less? 2 inches of aluminum or 4 inches of rubber? and even if the 8" rim and tire combo is lighter... itisn't going to be enough to make that much of a difference on a banshee.

theshee Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Its more about rotating mass then weight. I know drag guys swear by 8" rims, they say the rotating mass make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2sandshee Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 not to mention that w/ the 8" wheel you will get tire growth. this will act as a taller gear at the big end. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 The last 2 replies are correct, not to mention its an awesome setup for play riding also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 If this is the same guy that asked the same question over at Planet Sand, then no way on 10 paddles, it's on a stock swingarm. He'll spend more time looking in the sky than having fun. Stock swinger, 8 paddle. 4 or 6 over, then go 10.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could not be more incorrect. My 20/10/10 9 paddles on douglas 160 wieght in at 21 pounds each, my 22/10/8 9 paddle bead to beads wieght in at 12 pounds. they are a 72 r/o so they are actually about 3 inches taller than my 20s so 5 inches more rubber and 2 inches less rim you do the math.

Malott 1 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 8 inch will also help with getting off the line. The taller sidewall will flex helping the tire to hook. I like riding on the 8 in the dunes. I feel I get a more comfortable ride with the taller sidewall also. But that is just my preference.
