xsinnerx Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I have searched and searched and ended up giving myself a headache trying to find out what to run, I weigh 170lbs, have a kevin Herr dune ported stock juggs, 33 PWK's and pods, Noss head with 18 cc domes, vf3 reeds, timing advanced +4, +4 swingarm, T-5's. I do a little duning but mostly some friendly flat ground drag racing on sand with buddies, I can get a good deal on some used but fairly new 21-12-8 10 paddle bead to bead haulers. Is that too much tire for my set up? I can also pick up some 21-12-8 8 paddle haulers, which of the 2 would be better for me and if neither would be good and I bought new, what would be the best size for my setup? thanks a lot guys!!!

Jhughes7 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 If I had your set up I would run a 8 paddle extreme or 9 paddle regular, I say go with the 10s between the 2. Quote
SoCalinIt Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 If you are up north in OR or WA... I'd go a little more... 8 paddle Haulers... Glamis, Dumont, Pismo... I'd go 7 paddle Haulers... SLS 22X11X8... That's just me though... Quote
Jhughes7 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 SoCal you have your 14mill? How does it run, Cam builds a mean ass bike, We used to have one of his 4mil cubs and it put a beating on quite a few bigger bikes. Quote

How does it run, Cam builds a mean ass bike, We used to have one of his 4mil cubs and it put a beating on quite a few bigger bikes. I'm not sure how it runs yet... The motor is done, but my frame hasn't made it to my pad yet. I've heard a bunch of really good things about Cameron, and I have very high hopes that this bike will live up to the hype. I'm sure that it will be fast, but it's how fast that I'm curious about. Quote
Jhughes7 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 I bet it will run like a raped ape, living in oregon I have seen about 100 different bikes he has done, and there all pretty impressive. Quote
Animalman294 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I'd vote for the 21 12 8 8 paddles myself................. Quote
jayzx10r Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 I have the 21x12 8 paddle version and am happy with my choice. We seem to have a similar setup but my riding is SoCal dunes exclusively. Maybe if you were dragging shorter hills, an extra couple of paddles would be good for a harder launch but on the longer hills I race, I make the difference up pretty quickly.... Quote
xsinnerx Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Posted April 26, 2008 well I went with the 21-12-8 8 paddle haulers, havent had a chance to try them out yet, hopefully Monday I will be able to. I'm sure I'll be happier with them than the 20-10-10 sand skate ll's I have on now. The sand I ride in is pretty soft and deep, what tire pressure do you guys recomend?? Quote
rubberneck Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 I have the same tire and run them at about 3psi. Quote

I finaly got a chance to try the haulers and I couldnt be any happier, I used to lose to my friend by quite a few lengths when we would drag race and after I bolted these things on I would holeshot him big time and keep pulling on him the whole way down. I went from losing by 5-10 lengths to beating him by 5-10 lengths, tottaly impressed with the tires!!! Quote
xsinnerx Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Posted May 2, 2008 What kind of tires did you run before? sand skate ll's 20-10-10 8 paddle, such a huge difference. Quote
