Cub gearing

[bansheeboy44]

I've got a 421 drag port cub, 8 inch swinger, 9 paddle extremes, and I weigh 220. Ride only at the drags at Glamis and Gordon's Well as well the dunes to the big hills. Keep it stock 14/41 or go to 15/41 or some other combo with the 15???

 

Thanks

I always liked 15/42 for dune drag racing. Maybe some more paddle, too.

My thought was - since I am only running the 9's I could get away w/ the 15/41.

I run 15/40 with 22 inch 11 paddles on a+10 arm.

I ran 13/42 for awhile b/c it was on teh bike with my old stock cylinders. I thought it was fast. Went to 14/41 and it pulls wayyy harder now. Might try a 15/42 or 15/43 combo soon, just have to see what it likes at the track to cross the trap at the top of 5th.

Ya i've never been a fan of dropping gears even on a bolt on banshee, but I always launched those in 1st. I just want to make sure it's set up close to "ideal" so I don't have to mess with it a lot down in the sand.

I always launch in 2nd, so the gearing is set up for this
