FRONT:

 

Skat Track mohawk 21x7x10 on .160 douglas black labels $200 for the pair from RMATV

 

You could run the lighter .125 Douglas blue labels if you want to, BUT this is the combo I like

lightest rims would be douglas .125" thick.

 

You can get a whole super light tire package with rims from cascade though. I would get a set of 10 paddles.

Why The 8" Rim Though?? In The Rear

Lighter than a 10", 8" is less rotating mass.

[White06Shee]

Lighter than a 10", 8" is less rotating mass.

 

i see haha

[nunyabinness]

Lighter than a 10", 8" is less rotating mass.

 

i call bullshit. and here's why i say that... which weighs less? 2 inches of aluminum or 4 inches of rubber?

 

and even if the 8" rim and tire combo is lighter... itisn't going to be enough to make that much of a difference on a banshee.

Its more about rotating mass then weight. I know drag guys swear by 8" rims, they say the rotating mass make a big difference.

[o2sandshee]

not to mention that w/ the 8" wheel you will get tire growth.

this will act as a taller gear at the big end. :thumbsup:

[Snopczynski]

The last 2 replies are correct, not to mention its an awesome setup for play riding also.

If this is the same guy that asked the same question over at Planet Sand, then no way on 10 paddles, it's on a stock swingarm.

 

He'll spend more time looking in the sky than having fun. Stock swinger, 8 paddle.

 

4 or 6 over, then go 10....

You could not be more incorrect. My 20/10/10 9 paddles on douglas 160 wieght in at 21 pounds each, my 22/10/8 9 paddle bead to beads wieght in at 12 pounds. they are a 72 r/o so they are actually about 3 inches taller than my 20s so 5 inches more rubber and 2 inches less rim you do the math.

are they the same kind of tire???

 

i'm not saying you are wrong (any of you above posters). you all probably have more experience than i do. sorry i was just voicing my UN-EDJUMACATED opinion. i guess i need somebody to explain rotating mass to me.

 

but i agree with the tire growth statement. that part i totally understand.

8 inch will also help with getting off the line. The taller sidewall will flex helping the tire to hook. I like riding on the 8 in the dunes. I feel I get a more comfortable ride with the taller sidewall also. But that is just my preference.
