The next round of the WORC seris is a beach race and is held at Pismo.
We have been tossing around some ideas for tires and keep running into the same delima...
Weight vs tire size and floatation.
I thin the msaller tires will dig and not do so well in the sand,the bigger tirese will float better ,but add quite abit more weight.
16-14 lbs. depending on what tire set up :eek:
Also, what about running a mohawk in the front vs a dirt tire?
They too will be slightly heavier at 10lbs without a rim and the 20 inch razor cross tires are about 12lbs. on a rim .BUT....it would be alot less drag I think.
do you think the wieght of the bigger tires would be worth it for this race?
I would hate to see him get buried and cant pull himself out in the sand vs an added weight .
Any suggestions?
OH!!! Also, what would you think about maybe us custom grooving a tire?? We have a groover and tossed around the idea of cutting some cup like shapes in the tires we use now.
