brand new set of cheng shin c826 tires. What would be the best option for lenght? Everyon around me is sold out of 1/2" they have the 3/8 and 5/8(.625") Would the 5/8 go through the tire and cause it to leak?

thanks

Most guys that are serious use 1", they go all the way through, but they don't come out near as easy. I currently have 5/8, they go through, but they also pull out and then leak. If I were you, I would get long screws.

I use 1 inch put the tire on the rim inflate to about 25psi put the screws all the way in and deflate the tire down to 8 or 9 psi mine have not leaked in a year.

i just dont wanna ruin these tires and only get one use out of them....damn i dunno what to do. I feel lik the 3/8 would just shoot out everywhere

[steve250r]

1" is the way to go. I use mine for 2-3 years per set and they don't leak or throw studs. The studs will be wore out before they leak.

[SilverLake250R]

I'm telling you, get LONG screws, I rode my 5/8 only 2 days and I already lose 2-3 per 5 laps and then have to go re-inflate. It is a real PITA. Once the tire is flat, good luck cornering.

250 in each tire do me alright? im not competing or anything here just tryin to have some fun

[SilverLake250R]

Yeah, 250 will be fine. I only have ~175 right now and when the ice is hard I cant keep the front end down.

[Darthgeese]

alright man. Hopefully my tires and kutters are in friday and ill be at devils lake sat =] You ride there silverlake? oh im goin with the 1", hope yall are right

[SilverLake250R]

No, I only have rode on our little lake behind the house so far, where is devil's lake? Do they have a track plowed? Is there a race or you just going for fun?

[steve250r]

You'll be fine. I've been riding the ice for 15 years with this setup and it works.

[Darthgeese]

when im going its just for fun. Was talking with some guys at a local dealer n they said they were headin up there. But i think on the 4th-6th of Feb they are having an actual race. As far as i know its like 20mins from Adrian

[Darthgeese]

but like jpf said, i heard similar way of doing it before. Fill the tire up allllll the way and put them in slow, then deflate to desired psi? Just trying to clarify before i tear up some tires.... sorry for all the questions and thanks for the replys guys.

[ridered250R]

Yes, that is exactly want you want to do. It will feel really weird when you put the first one in but I just did a set 3 weeks ago with one inch screws, PRO Golds Course thread, and it works awesome. You don't want to have them coming out and re-inflating. Its only a little funny when SilverLake250R's come out and I go right around him as he loses tractions, LOL :D :macho hahahaha

[SilverLake250R]

Actually, the way it went was, I still beat ridered250r. He didn't make a corner and ended up in the snow. :P

Along with his quad bogging down and quitting about every 3 laps... lol

And then there's this hockey thing.. he can't even ride Saturday....





Just givin you **** Jon......
