best paddle tires

[aussieex]

this is my first post I think Im putting it in the right section but anyway I was wondering what paddles you guys run in the dunes and wether the 400 ex has any trouble driving them. Im from Australia and do not have that big a selection- geckos, sand sharks, maybe dunesliders. Also anyone run Pro-Tapers if so what style rise etc thanks heaps

I have the 8" sand sharks and they seem to work really well.. I don't have protapers but I have CR double Highs in the Tag T2


BTW Welcome to the site :D

thanks silverfox how do the tags feel compared to stock bars ive also seen renthal quad bars but didnt like the bend I think moto bars would feel better

Welcome to the site,


I run sand sharks, and they are perfect for me, Lover to slid around the dunes and enough hook up to hit the hiills.

[aussieex]

when you say sand sharks what is the exact size so I can order some, will they go on stock rims or will I need rims as well.
thanks

[Silverfox@C&DRacing]

The sand sharks only come in an 8" or 10" rim. If you want to use your stock rims then I would suggest the 21x11x9 Gecko.

As for the tag bars in comparrison to stock. Much better but I think any bar is better than stock.. I think the bend of the bar is all personal preference. Some like them high and some like them low :D

Personally I would stay away fromt eh Gecko.s I have never ridden them, but everybody that has says they are no good, waste ot time and monehy.

Since your in Aussie, I would suggest giving C&D a email for a price quote on some rims and tires also try
http://www.rockymountainatv.com

This is where I bought my rims andsand sharks, 130 out the doors.

But try both places to see who is better and deals on shipping.

Whatever tire you decide to get go with an 8'' wheel. They hook-up better than a 10''. I bought my paddles from http://www.rockymountainatv.com and got a good price.

are the 8" and 10" sand sharks the same diameter if not will I have to change gearing to accomodate the 8s

this site rocks everything you need to know!!!!!!

[optikid123]

for bars a lot depends on your height and riding style im only like 5'7 so my tag crlow bars work really good for mx, it seems that people that do more trails geta higher bar because its more comfortable while some get lower to have more of an aggressive stance:huh

i trail ride and i like them low-med.... 909s work great for me

are the 8" and 10" sand sharks the same diameter if not will I have to change gearing to accomodate the 8s Just in case you didn't know, but 8" and 10" is rim diameter, you need to worry about tire diameter when it comes to gearing. I personally like the 10" way better than the 8" rims mainly because of looks. I can't tell the difference when it comes to "hooking up". Actually I air up my tires because when I run them low, I can't keep the front end from popping up at the starting line of the sand drags. My rims are the 10".

[oregonrider89]

The 8'' rims my not look as flashy as the 10'' but they do hook-up better. If you have trouble with the front end coming off the ground sit on the tank when you drag. Thats what I have to do when I drag my bike.
