bhatch21 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I'm new to sand riding. Heading out to Little Sahara OK on Sunday. I don't think I've ever seen this mentioned. Does anyone "sync" their paddles, meaning match the paddle location on the left and right tires? I guess you would do this by taking the hub off one side then turning and remounting it when you get the paddles lined up. Does it make a difference? Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Another much debated topic, I personally don't bother with it. 2 Quote
thomas h. Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I sync the air pressure and if I remember I'll clock the paddles to not be inline. Quote
JTmachining Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 I index the paddles (valve stem is the constant) the same when I mount on wheels and sync when I put on bike 1 Quote

I will be 6 miles away bored out of my freaking mind and working. Quote
sheerider11 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 I usually do it as much as I can. Quote
bhatch21 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Wayne, 6 miles away from Waynoka? If so, come by on your lunch break or after work and I'll let you take a shee for a spin. Hehe. We will be out there riding all day Monday and Tuesday. Quote
bhatch21 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 As for the paddles, mine looked close enough. Probably won't matter for this sand noob with a stock bike. Thanks guys. Quote
willaduncan Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Do you guys try to get the paddles as perfectly lined up or off set/staggered ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Strm Trpr Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 I clock the valve stems when mounting the rims. Then I lower pressure to 1 psi or so and go do a few hard pulls. The beads will slip on the rim and the paddles will sync every time. Reinflate to your riding pressure. Handled!! 1 Quote

RadarRacing Posted February 29, 2016 Report Posted February 29, 2016 Im in the minority but I dont think it matters at all. Hit the gas even the slightest and they start spinning. I keep the air pressure the same but clocking paddles I dont worry about. Bolt em on. Quote
