joee20002 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 ULTRA LITES VS SINGLE BUFF.... how big is the diffrence? Quote
GrMeyer Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 I have go single buff and I have a buddy that uses the triple buff. they are light... but when you get that thin you have to start watching out for what your running over... rims are a big role as well Quote
shanYE west Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 maybe a pound or 2... I use standard buff front tires for the dunes.. a lil extra weight in the front never hurts.. Plus.. I'm not as worried about a twig popping the tire.. lol Quote
rubberneck Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 ill throw them both on the scale tomorrow if i remember. Quote

sheefreak Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 You can't generally get the larger rollout's on a single buff either. Quote

Bansh-eman Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) I had a set of single buffs with spindle mounts they were 12 lbs each, once I got the correct tripple buffs (same size) they went to 8 lbs each with spindle mounts. When your holding just the tire you can feel the differance. The tripples look and feel like you can damn near put your finger through them. there will probly be a few spots that you can see the threads coming through them from the belts.

And that's on front tires...18X3. There's a LOT more material on the rear tires. I'd bet the difference in rear paddles is MUCH more significant. That's one of the reason us track guys walk the track, etc., and get a little miffed when we see rocks, sticks, etc. Quote

dajogejr Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 It's part of my rigorous exercise routine that involves track food, beer and loading/unloading my bike solo. :thumbsup: Quote

Thought you had B2B's the first time.? I just weighed my 25" 16 extreme stagerds on 10" rims and they weighed 15.5 lbs. Quote
