Roost - none taken, I was talking about the previous posts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I do have a quick question for you RaptorAZ.

Do you think that these ole cheng shin knobbies will help you more than paddles in the Cinders???... ask howardstern the difference [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

here you go howard... It's not a race, I stop before the hill starts but MAN does your bike look fast!!!

Howardstern's 727 paddle run

 

I don't get it....you guys are dragging and paddles are quicker, then why run knobbies? Am I correct in asuming the Cheng Shins outperform other other non-paddle tires in the cinders....or are they being used too save a buck? Just trying too gather the facts gents...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

 

Thats what i say but i wouldent be able to afford a new pair every trip....so im sure it's for those reasons, If not why?

Big diffrence...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Yes you guys are correct. The REASON we go to the cinders is to Hill climb not race. There are monster hills up there and 1 out of every 50 people up there runs knobbies. We can run knobbies because we can climb everything with knobbies and that is unheard of.

When you pull up to a monster hill with knobbies, people laugh and look away, then when you fly up it, it really makes a statement. We are duners NOT drag racers. we trail ride and PLAY race.

Why bring paddles when you can climb everything with knobbies
...good point about the cost (cheng shin tires are $29) and you would have to replace the paddle tires after every trip... gets a little expensive.

if both have knobbies then it is an equal race, right???

 

Yes, replacing paddles after every trip would be very expensive. Have you tried any other knobbies in the cinders? Holeshots, Razr's....the flat ones everyone runs on their sport atv?

 

no, but they would probably do better???

 

IMO...a pair of skat traks would do good for about 4 or 5 trips at the Cinders......My Sand Geckos have made 3 trips....and they are hardly showing any wear because of the one piece molding...a little heavy though.I.m starting to think that knobbies are the way to go....very challenging...I watched Raptor660fam's Dad go up a hill on knobbies that I wouldn't even attempt on paddles so I know they still hook and definatly float(the left side of $50.00 bowl)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
