Paddle Questions

[sandcamper]

All right dune rats, lets get your take on tires. Make, size, # of paddles. Let the debate begin

cant go wrong with

1.20x10x8 skat trak haulers with 8 klits or 6 klits
2.20x10x110 skat trak hauler with 6 klits
3.20x10x8 skat trak extremes with 6 klits
4 20x10x8 sand skate II's

these are for a mild built bike or stock bikes

but for powerful drag bikes

22x11x8 skat trak haulers 8 or 10 klits

[osufan2k]

IMO, skat trak haulers are the only way to go. No other paddle tire even compares.

20" 8 paddle haulers are great for a semi stock bike
20" 9 paddle haulers are great for a semi built bike
22" 10 paddle ultralight extreems for a fully built bike
22" 12 paddle ultralight extreems for a drag only bike

20" 8 paddle haulers...for sure

First of all, it depends on the riding style!

For drag racing, obviously skat track haulers...

BUT for aggressive duning go for sand & skate II

This is tested and proven by the way. I ride Pismo
every weekend. I have no use for skats unless Im
going in a straight line. Hell if I wanna have a crazy
time, I bolt on the stock shee tires hahaa! Skats are
a pain in the ass if you want to tear up in tight spaces.

My dream tire would be an 18 in paddle on a banshee.
I could do some amazing things with that! (not for drag
racing but hard core duneing)

I love those 21" Skats on a 8" rim for the strip. I have Sand Haulers right now and don't compare to the Skat-Trak.
Agree with Showtime, my friends Banshee on the Skates does really well on the dune rides. Those things just still to the walls when riding sideways on a steep incline, I was amazed how well it pinned on 5th in a bowl. Just hugs sand really well vs the drag style paddle where you slide..

i noticed someone said 12 paddles is for full on drag quads..

i pull a set of 12s just fine on my trail port shee.. infact i like it better then a set of 9s. 2nd gear starts no issuse. running 14/41 gearing. may be a bit much for a clutch but o well.

like showtime said if you wanna drag get some haulers if you wanna dick around and have some fun get some v paddles. of some sort.
