General duning. No monster air. Aftermarket suspension to soften the forces on the rims. Do you use different thicknesses between front and back? I had always used .190 reinforced since moving out here but probably don't need to spend the extra $$ anymore for strength. What do you guys think.

 

I run .125's only on the front, and only in the dunes. I have seen guys flatten a .125 rear after landing a big jump.

 

I run .125 on all 4 and never had a problem under normal riding. I did hit a big rock once in the washes at Glamis that bent the lip a bit, but with a rubber mallet it was a ten minute fix.

 

All four of my .125's have slight bends in them and I don't even know how. I would get at least 0160's. I wonder the weight savings between .125 and .190 rims?

 

For duning my .125 wheels work great I haven't had any trouble with them at all. ITP recommends .125 for sport riding and duning and .190 for racing. You could get the .190 but it would cost you more.

 

General duning, go with the .125's they will be fine. I'm set-up on my r like you're set-up and I've never had a problem.

 

160's are the best,190'a are too heavy.125 are nice but bend..

 

Thanks guys.

I think that I will go with a set of .160's. I weigh @ 270 in my birthday suit, probably pushin' 300 with my size 14 Stars and the rest of my gear so the strength is somewhat of an issue. I just wanted my fronts to be as light as possible so that I can turn my steering damper down. With plus 3's and those big heavy rims they make the bars jerk when turning unless the damper is cranked up. During busy weekends when there are lots of ruts, it can get tiring but having your damper on max is also a drag. Maybe I should get a Predator, from listening to the Polaris guys they have power steering or something. j/k I may get a set of .125's for one of the bikes to test it out on the front. Thanks again.

 

30 pounds worth of gear? whoaaa

 

i run 190 never miss rides that way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
