Hey 250ex owners, i want to put paddles on my wifes 250ex, V paddles(as i dont think it could handle straight paddles), sand shark makes only a 8 paddle on their 20" other brands sell as low as a 6 paddle for three times the price of the sand sharks, my question is not one of what brand, i was just wondering if the 250ex can turn 8 paddles, on the small 20" tire, i think it may get a bit too much bit with 8 paddles, does anyone run a paddle on the back of their 250ex? my wife weighs 118lbs, with slip on pipe.
thanks alot
Rob.

Did the pipe help her on the &quot;topend&quot; or mostly give her more torque in her &quot;bottom end&quot;??? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

8 is to much for the little 250. I run 6-paddle Skat-Trak Edges, and they do very well. I know you don't want to hear about brands, but I'll tell you to skip the (heavy) sand sharks anyway. We run a K&amp;N and FMF Megamax pipe, and the power gets a nice increase.

 

YZGUY, thanks for the info, do you run 20&quot;ers on the back?
thanks
Rob

 

Yes, 20&quot;. Don't go bigger than 20&quot;, because it effectively lowers your gearing (compared to the stock 22&quot; tires), and in the sand you need all the power you can get!!
