+3 or +4 a arms

[sweet416]

i ride trails but i am also thinking about doing alittle racing too. flat track mainly. j/w what you guys would think would be better for me.

If the trails are narrow...neither. Get =2's its the most common and it will suit you just fine. Its not fun having a quad wider then the trail:D

[sweet416]

the trails are wide and and there are enough jumps that i would like to have width to be wider

[FoxRacing81]

You do know Pro's don't make there quads wide for jumping, correct?

They make it wider because it corners better.

dont go plus 3 or 4 the first time you clip a tree and get nailed in the gut by your bars you will kicking your self about getting them. plus in a trail you wont have to worry about alot of speed like they do in desert racing which they run plus 3 and4 arms the wider the arm the more stable at speeds.

+2 Long Travel w/ a 4/1 rim to protect your calipers/spindles
put on 3/2 rim when you go to the dunes. for another 2" width. ;)

I do FT racing, and I raced with a +2 set up all year and just aded a 2/4 offset wheel. This works fine for FT racing but the offset wheel sucks for dirt riding. That would work good for a separate set up. I now run +3 AArms so I have some offset wheels if you need them;)

as long as we are not going WIDER is fine, my ole man doesnt understand the whole offest thing. hes unclear on the difference between a 3/2 and a 4/1. hes thinkgin the 4 is gonna make me 4 inches WIDER vs. a 3. Can someone be more detailed on the differences, maybe give me a link to a thread that als omay have some diagrams or something so I can better explain it to him. Thanks!! :)
