they don't sell 21's anymore anyways[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] only 22's

 

I just called Skats tech dept...they won't sell 21's for 6 more months...get the 22's and be sure they are 8" rims and not the 10" rims

 

if you guys have the new haulers have you guys weighed them. just wondering if they are as heavy as people are saying[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I did. My new 7 paddles are 1 pound heavier than my old 8 paddles.

 

not to bad (standards or UL's). what was the weight?
thanks

 

i dont like the looks of the 22's (sorry guys) i think the 21's look better and i have a line on a new set of the old style 21x12x8 8 paddle ultralights!

 

Standards. Approximately 12 pounds(on Douglas .125's) for the old 8's, and 13 pounds for the newer 7's. Just for a comparison, I also weighed a set of 20x10x10 Sand Sharks. On Douglas .125's, the weighed in at 19 pounds.

 

I'm a fan on the 21" as well, 22 is just too much for me.

 

I really dont think swaping just paddles is a good way to compare. I think if you want to compare you will have to regear (for hillshooting anyways) With my old tires 20" 8 paddle haulers I was pulling 3 way hard and was lacking the extra hp to pull 4th. I changed my gearing and was able to pull 4th and gained about 6 bike lengths on comp at dumont in the process. Now I have 22x10x8 10 paddle haulers have yet to test them out, but I am starting with stalk gearing to see how well it pulls the hill in 3rd
