locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 You've left out some information. What kind of hillclimbing are you doing? Trail hills, coal hills or competitive timed hills? How much do you weigh and how good of a rider are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruelSoul Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Sorry about that, lets see I am around 130lbs,I ride all coal hills except for this year when I start beaverdale which will be dirt. I just picked up some ohtsu's to run for this year and I and others consider myself to be a good rider/climber and not afraid to try anything pretty much. And I do no trail riding.

locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd say +6 or +8. Beaverdale looks pretty steep but a little loose, so you could go either way for it. If you go to a lot more power in the future a +8 may be better. For your mods now, I think a +6 will be long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruelSoul Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Thanks loco I like opinions from other fellow climbers right now our practice hill is about as steep as beaverdale once you hit the middle, but I have been wheelieng it alot lately and I am sure with new tires she possibly might more. Future plans is to go with maybe a 4 mil what is your mods got a spot so I can take a peek?? Edited February 28, 2012 by CruelSoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 My Banshee is a 18mm DM with a +8 swingarm. My old 10mm Cub had a +6 on it. Here's a couple videos on the same hill with the two motors... 18DM on the left and 10Cub on the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
