You may like what I'm saying stebob, but I love the feal, thier is a little toe in on the front, I haven't takled that, and need to work on the suspention still, I hierd that spreading the wheels a little soften the front shocks some, it felt like that when I took a ride, but I have to get more seat time.

The XC guys I ride with all had douglas rims but all suggest I get ITP steel or keep the stalk wheels as long as I can. They are telling me the XC courses chew up the douglas rims, and I looked at thier rims, now I know why they have so many fix a flat ideas.

 

Gaff,
Are they running the .190's? They may have the thinner .160's or something. I have heard many times that the Douglas .190's are much stronger than the stock rims. Just a thought. Maybe get the stock offset and flip them instead of getting 1" offset's. hmmmm....

 

I'm not realy sure thier is a stock off set stebob, go to tread depot and thier is a place were you can look at the offsets offered, they have a confusing code and you measure your rims and cross it over to thier code.
I haven't been through them all yet but thier is only so many with the 4/156 pattern.
I am also not sure of what rims the XC guys had on, I'm not realy concerned now as I believe the money thing is going to force me to get tires on the stock rims.
This is a shame, I just recieved my bonus, and it's enough to get another quad if I want, but wouldn't you know some ones wife called my wife, well now I don't have a bonus any more.

 

That is a shame Gaff. Oh well I guess, we gotta do what we gotta due. F--- my bonuse are lucky to be $500 and they're taxed at 47%. I need to make more money, no question.

I bet the front tires you have took the push out. When they did the write up on the Lakota on this website, they put some kind of Goodyears, Dunlop, something..I can't remember, but they said getting rid of the stock tires, pretty much took care of it.
