Got an Alba 2002 baja and currently running Duoglas red lables all around, fronts have 22x8-10 Kenda dune runners, and rears have 20x11-10 Sand Sharks, Have not tried this set up yet, and have'nt heard to good a review about Sand Sharks, and I know, you get what you pay for. Now whats the deal with haulers, I think I read that Extreme haulers will rub on the stock heel guards of a Baja and regular ones will not, any help would be great. Bound for Glamis and Dumont this fall.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I used to have the 20' Sand Sharks, but got rid of them for some 22' Haulers, it was night and day with those tires on there. I also changed the front sprocket to a 15T and put on Diamond G heelguards so the tires don't hit. The bike runs better than ever, hills I couldn't make it up before I can make it up in 3rd now. If you have the money go for the Haulers.

 

I currently run Sand sharks on my Baja and the stock front tires. The sand sharks definitely spin more then they need too. They turn great and slide really easy. The stock front tires seem to work fine, I do drop the psi down so they don't sink into the soft sand. If the money becomes available I plan on getting the Hauler Extremes. I think I will stick to the 20 instead of going to the 22s. That way I don't have to re-gear or buy the aftermarket heel guards. I also I heard that going to the 22 will raise the center of gravity which is never a good thing in the dunes. I believe the extreme haulers are the same size of the normal haulers just built to take more stress. The # of paddles is also an issue. I heard 8 is not enough and 10 is to many paddles. Maybe 9 is the magic #? I don't know.

 

Thanks for the info,just wondering is the 15T more or less than the stock sproket and if more, did you increase your chain length?

 

Stock is 16T, the stock chain works with the 15T.
