sredish Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I Wont Be Doing A Hole Lot OF Draging Seems the majority of you missed this part. he's not that concerned with dragging so he'll have to approach it differently. 8" wheel - more flex, better launch, softer ride but less ability to slide and turn 10" wheel - less flexx, more stable, good ability to slide and carve the dunes I'd go to a 10" wheel or a 9" at the least for a good compromise. I'd also recommend the Skat Trak Edges. They're a V paddle but they hook up incredibly well for a V and will give you a killer overall ride on the dunes, excellent carving and sliding but still enough hookup to be plenty competent in the drags when need be. Get a 20" tire in a 8 paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prochargednova Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have a set of 20-11-10 ITP Sand Stars on T9 wheels if interested. Perfect shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 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: That's why the drag guys run and 8" rim in the back. The dune guys who jump run them as it gives you more sidewall and air volume to absorb landings, which inturn lessens the chand of D'ing out a rim. :thumbsup: I personally think that the difference in weight between an 8" rim with a tire and a 10" rim with a tire is about the same generally speaking. As I rub my magic eight ball further, I may see that a set of Skat Trak B2B Ultra Light on a 8" rim weighs less than the same tire on a 10" rim (this is based off of a quick, half ass, mass approximation I just did in my head).

FireHead Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 How About These??.......... http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do Well Its Not Working, Its The... "GBC Sand Shark 20x11x8" Part Number:: 54160 ^^Those blow a dong. I do have GBC (Green Ball Corporation (I learned the definition of the acronym the other day) single rib front sand tire. They work excellent and are quite possibly the best (and cheapest) sand front tires I have ever used. Some sort of Hauler or Edge tire from Skat Trak (they make several types of each tire) or Sand Stars from ITP. End of story. :thumbsup: If I were to choose for you and your bike I would put a complete set off Sand Stars at all four coners. After readin all of the posts in this thread I get the feeling that you are going to be a v-blade kind of guy. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
