jayzx10r Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'd appreciate you input on this... I bought some tires (Sand Haulers) for near half the price (80 bucks) of a set of Skat-Traks and they weigh out at 1 1/4lb more each over the Skat-Traks I'm replacing. Do you think this would be considered "significant" enough to spring for the S/K's and sell off the SH's? The postal scale shows the SH's to be 10.0lbs and the SH's to be 11.3lbs. I like to win races and I'd kick myself if the additional weight cost me 2 or 3 bike lenghts at the top of Old's... Thanks for your opinion.... Jay From SanD.

badassbanshee479 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 light is fast! the less rotating weight you have on the axle, the faster the bike will get to top speed. You could get an aluminum sprocket, and a drag rotor to offset the weight. Or you could send the new tires out and get them triple buffed so they are as light as they can be. My padla brats are only 7lbs. but they are comp cut drag tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDS2106 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I was told the paddle height on the sand hauler is shorter than the skat trak paddle height :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalinIt Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 light is fast! the less rotating weight you have on the axle, the faster the bike will get to top speed. WORD! I run the 22X11X8 b2b 10 paddle haulers and they weigh less than the 21X11X8 8 paddle RMATV tires that I have. 2 more paddles, 1 size up, and a lot more roll out. Light is better!

Justintoxicated Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) probably the equivilant of about 20 lbs acceleration wise. Worth 80 bucks? I don't know only you can determin that. Edited May 19, 2007 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
