Here's a paddle tire question.
Do different paddles make a big difference in sand performance?
Like going from a pair of Geko's to sand skate 2's.....

We are riding Walker this morning, as we do every sunday.
Anyone need a wood stove? I have two that were removed from the triabal rec-room when they built the casino. They are like new,one only has had two fires in it.
I'm selling them to buy a pellet stove.

I really won't be dragging with my little 400, I just want all around good performance....
I would like to able to turn out of a climb if I needed to but still have some good hook up for dragging sometimes..

Maybe you want to try Sand Sharks or Sand Stars, angled paddles, or you can try Geckos.

I have used Sand Sharks, Geckos and now I run Haulers. You can still turn out of climbes with straight paddles and you can climb a lot better too, so there's less turnout needed! If you get Haulers get a set a pair of full ribbed front tires like Dune Runners or Dune Trackers, they'll turn you better than Shark Fins or smooth buffs.

gooch, you'll probably end up dragging with your "little 400" because we all end up doing it. Just for the fun of it!
Haulers make a BIG difference.
However, if you plan on riding Moses and Beverly, along with the Oregon dunes, you should go with a less expensive tire than the Haulers or get two pair. One set of Haulers and one of the Sand Sharks, etc....
