Sand_YFZ Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Paddle Brats are only good for bikes that dont make enough power to turn real tires IE 22" haulers.Real men run 22's. By the way anyone ever tried Stella Artois draft.

sandshots Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I wouldn't go with haulers or any of the skat trax paddles. I ran them for years and I kept throwing paddles. The problem is that because they are vulcanized onto the tire carcass, they tend to come "unglued" when you hit a rock or hard pack. They do good out at Glamis for the most part but there are just too many rocks at Dumont. You'll be buying new tires a lot. Sand Skates are good as I'm sure you know. I run Sand Stars. Stay away from the vulcanized paddles. For a good reference point, take a look at your paddles or anyone elses that has a few trips on them. You'll see how some of the paddles are cracked or torn. Every one of those would be a new tire if your running skats the rocks at dumont can be brutal, but ive never had a problem. i run 7 paddle haulers and hook up great. if you rip a paddle you dont have to throw it away. skat-trak replaces each blade for 6 bux.

nidan450 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) alright, so here's the thing. I called up fullerton sand sports and spoke with joe. This guy seems to really know his stuff about paddle tires. He baisicly said the same thing as motoxman, that this motor is a reving motor, and a 6 paddle brat would be the lightest, allow for enough slip, and have the best performance. I told him I didnt want a tire that was so fragile I had to go easy on them. As for any of the straight paddle tires, " you have to avoid the rocks and stuff" he said. According to joe if you air the brats up a few more psi, they dune pretty good. So I'm going to take a chance, spend a little more money, and try the 6 paddle brats. I want to thank everyone for their personal experiences and the advice, it really helped. so here are the rusults. I tried the 6 padle brats today out on the dunes. I think everyone agrees that with the straight paddle, you sacrifice turning ability. This is very true. I was running sand skat II's before, and now there is alot of understeer. It is easier to break it loose with a few more psi though. The tire is still duneable but you have to get used to the way the bike handles now. One good charastic is that riding on the steep sides of hills is much easier. Sliding down sideways is greatly reduced. This is a big plus for me. As for the drags; These dont have as much bite as the skates due to having 2 less and smaller paddles. After about 30 feet though, they really take off, speed up the hill is greatly improved. I assume this is due to the fact that they are extremely light, have less paddles, and are an inch taller in diameter. Overall, I like the tire. A good way to describe would be, "these made me faster, not quicker" Even while duning, I was faster. Although you do lose a little of that "throw you off the seat" feeling from a dead stop.

motoxman30 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 grow up, kid.. dan builds race machines. you build lego castles. dont go lookin for a fight dude u aint gonna get one wut r u gonna do...call me a kid then argue with a kid?? ur a weal gwown up mister dont get involved ur just a hot head who wants to get in everyones business just to start a fight....we are havin an intelectual argument...u need to chill. we're talkin bout tires...not who builds a machine u heard it from the man...he was recomended the tire before he heard my opinion went out and bought em and guess what...he likes em so and ill agree with him on the power. it is a little sluggish in the beginning but itll keep pickin up speed as u get up the hill we got ours at 3lbs each so it pops a wheelie no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
