All -

Well I finally got my wheels this week and put them on today.
I took a ride around the block, and WOW! They handle really well
and I can't wait to take them on the trails and especially through
some MUD!

Here is some pics from today's play FUN! And thanks to all who have
helped me along the way with answering lots of questions and what
not!

FYI, my cuz was planning on making use of my old stockers and we
discovered that his studs were too short. Any ideas on what to do about that?

Also, these 27" tires say 7PSI, on the tire wall, is everyone else
running the max PSI on theirs?

Thanks,

If your cuz has steel wheels and wants to use aluminum he needs to switch to longer wheel studs.I would experiment with tire pressures to suit your needs.I usually run 6-7 psi just for less rolling resistance.

 

Looks good! Really does change the attitude of your 800...

have him just order studs that fits your bike or any other bike w/ alum. rims and just replace them and you will be all set. i use about 5 to 6 psi on my tires.

 

Thx Bizz, will do about the studs!

 

i use 5.5 lbs but i think i'm gonna go 4lbs JMO i love the tire though keep a plug kit handy!
