will 10 paddles be too much?

[87sheerips]

ok im lookin at these 10 paddle sand sharks for a good price. wondering if they r too much for my bike. Im bored .100 over, ported, 34 mm keihins, fatty pipes, head is shaved .20. I think i should be fine, its my first paddle tires purchase. a lil assistamce would be great!!

I replied to your first post about this. Everyone has a opinion what is best but everone rides different. If you get them for a really good price than try them. You can always sell them for what you paid for them right?

10 paddle Sand sharks? I didn't know them made more than 8's

 

I would get 8 paddle Hauler in 21x12x8. Great do it all paddle.

I would not do it man!

 

First Sharks are already super heavy, + you don't really have enough hp and torque to pull them.

 

Since your ported I would go for 8 paddle extreme haulers. If your fully drag ported you could probably run 9's depending on conditions but I would stick with 8's...Unless all you do is drag...

 

if you dune your going to HATE them.

 

 

With 10's you might get a better launch but you will lose some top speed due to having too much weight and paddle.

 

if your stroked 4 mil drag ported than maybe 10 paddle non-extremes..

 

Oh yea forgot to mention it depends on yoru tire size also...

 

get yourself a pair of these

 

20x10x10

 

 

This is a pic of the 8 paddle extremes vs SDD's Larger Skat Track's they are 8 paddle non-extreme, I think his are 22x11x10 or something I don't really remember...Anyways go with the extremes as the paddles are re-enforced they are only available in 20x10x10 sizes anyways.

 

I do not think they make s 22x12x8 but they sound a bit too large. if you go with the larger size you can get 10 paddle non-extremes but they are still better oriented for drag unless you like sliding around in the dunes with huge rear tires....

 

Sand Tires last a long time so whatever you get you will have them a while...I'm sorta wishing I had goen with 9's now, but only because I plan on getting Cheata Cubs in the near future!

10 paddles are gonna be too much for you. i think id go with 8. i run 9 paddle extreme haulers on my banshee but i got a lot of power and a +4 arms. if i had 10's i think id be riding wheelies everywhere...

I'd def go with 8's with your mods. if you're curious i've got a set of 10 paddle extremes i'll sell you. of course this would be a no returns sell

hey 87shee... did i tell ya they were a 10 paddle sand sharkII? cuz they are 8 paddle 20x11x10?

[wesw]

i run 10 paddles. havent had a problem with them. i know bdbanshee does also.

 

they hook up really well. i havent ever ran 8,9 paddles

 

 

 

i dont see how 10 paddles kill your top speed. if they are 20 in they will be 20 in 8 or 10 paddles the same.
