CRAZY-SHEE! Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Posted April 28, 2007 I was going to build a 7mm stock cylinder but then I just went with a cub.I spent around 3500.I ONLY went with the cub because my builder says cubs are more reliable.Oh yeah im going to be trail riding it too.He says cubs run alot cooler becuase they hold more water?????Dont know how true that is I dont know much bout cubs.But he trail rides his big cubs all day long.NO tight stuff everything is wide-open thats what i want.. reliability.. power.. multiuse.and i do all wide open..

06BaNsHeE Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 thats what i want.. reliability.. power.. multiuse.and i do all wide open.. Then have fun with your cub.Lol I rode today with a 14mm cub with STOCK swingarm.That was a scary ride.Guy launched hard of 3 gear on paveement.I loved it tho.I hope my ride is going to be as fun as his.(7mm cub on stock swinger)Wheelie time.

CRAZY-SHEE! Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 JESUS man thats crazy.. thats what im building.. 7mm cub.. but on a +4.. a stock swinger? u r crazy. :yelrotflmao: Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 lol nothing a couple straps wont solve.You going to have an overide? Quote
CRAZY-SHEE! Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) yea.. id be stupid not too. ive driven a cub without an override and it toally ruins the fun cause you spend half your time and mental concentration on trying to get it to shift Edited April 29, 2007 by CRAZY-SHEE! Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 if your going to go 7mm then you should go 10mm. Its the same price for 3mm more........ Quote
CRAZY-SHEE! Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 if your going to go 7mm then you should go 10mm. Its the same price for 3mm more........ yea.. i was just thinking.. cause if imma go with a cub, i dont ave to do too much extra work for the 10.. so ya, itll probably be a 10. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) if your going to go 7mm then you should go 10mm. Its the same price for 3mm more........ Except for the fact that the Cub uses Stock Reeds which are not designed to handle that much flow and will have a higher failure rate. I have talked to some people with 10 mil cubs and they wish they had gone with full cheatas because they would go through a set of V-force reeds every trip. Maybe differnet reeds would work better but the fact remains that the stock size reeds are not really made to flow that much...Which is why I would pick a 7 over a 10, also because I don't need te extra power of the 10 mil and it would make riding more difficult and painful with the ass end sticking out that far... 4 mil cub or mil supercub for me this summer... 14mm cub? Does such a thing exist? I'm hoping to keep my +2 with the 4 mil but likely i will need a +4... 7 Mil Cub + stock swinger = the lose. Edited April 30, 2007 by Justintoxicated Quote
dajogejr Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 a 14 mil cub on a stock swinger? What an utter and total waste of a motor. that isn't even a sleeper, unless you have another rider of 200lbs sit on the bumper.... Yes, they make 14 mil cubs. Good luck with a +2 or +4 on a good running 4 mil cub, even on gas. My 4 mil was a handful with a 6 over, Justin...and that was stock tranny and clutch on gas.... Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 yes 14mm cub.He was like 250-300 pound range.HE LAUNCHED HARD too. Quote
dajogejr Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 I'm 250lbs. he might have launched hard...he was in no way taking full advantage of that motor on the stock swinger, though... (prolly had a stock tranny...too...lol ) Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 I'm 250lbs.he might have launched hard...he was in no way taking full advantage of that motor on the stock swinger, though... (prolly had a stock tranny...too...lol ) Nope 2-5 overide Quote
CRAZY-SHEE! Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Posted May 1, 2007 oook.. id like to hear some more about this reed problem... if vf3's dont work, what does?if i stick with the 7 mil will it work fine?? Quote
FireHead Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 a 14 mil cub on a stock swinger? What an utter and total waste of a motor. that isn't even a sleeper, unless you have another rider of 200lbs sit on the bumper.... Yes, they make 14 mil cubs. I am guessing that I will be seeing a 10 mil cub cylinder block and crank or a stock or +4 swingarm fo sale real soon. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 Nope... I'm going to sell my chrome aero tube metal tech arm for a -2.... LOL... I've never heard of reeds not lasting due to a large motor. I have heard of reeds (coated carbon fiber) not lasting as long due to alky run through them.... Quote
