Paddle Questions

[Duneman101]

your riding a shee, so i wouldn't go less that 8 paddle tires...

i have some skates, turbos, and haulers all 8 paddle...

they really all handle pretty well... the turbo paddles are nice because the are hella cheap and the are hard as a rock, so you really don't have to worry about busting them off on the rocks and hard clay you occasionally run into, some times they do seem to bite to hard though. i like a little flex in the paddle, so i got the haulers, theres not a ton of difference, i really didn't even feel the difference until i was riding on the hard sand on a really rainy weekend.

there was a bit of a difference when i got the skates as far as cornering and sidehilling, there was a noticeable difference, but mine busted off fast, they really didn't last me long... the dunes out here have lots of hidden lava rocks, so i didn't feel like they were worth what i paid for the little amount of time i was able to ride them.

I love this stuff. Ask a question and watch it go. Think I'm gonna go with haulers. 22 11 8 . Just can't figure out how many paddles 8 or 10. Shop guy tells me 8, Friend that built my engine saya 10. What do you guys think. 350 stock bore, 17 cc domes, ported, +6 swingarm. On race gas should be around 68-72 ponys based on bikes he's done before?

I see your in Oregon like me. What dunes do you ride? I think you would be best with 8 paddles. Remember, you want the tires to always be spinning. Too much hookup and it will slow you down. Also, in the summer time, the sand is softer and lighter so 10 paddles might work ok for you but when the sand is wet and heavier, your bike might not have enough power to turn 10 paddles in a wetter sand.

Horsfall mainly. I like how much room ther is for my kids. Sand is cool at Winchester though. Still need to try Florence.
