My buddy just hooked up with a chick who owns a Warrior.
She wants to buy some paddles and front tires with rims for it.
What is the best set-up and price.
I prefer the STU Sand skate II over the
Scat-trac edge's
but what size tire and what rim would you recomend?

SUP ROBBIE, I HAD A WARRIOR WAY BACK WHEN...AND I HAD THE TRACKERS. THEY STUNK, TOO HEAVY, AND DIDNT HOOK UP TOO GOOD. THEN I TRIED THE EDGE, BETTER WEIGHT, BUT STILL NO HOOK UP. FINALLY I GOT THE SAND SKATE 2'S AND THEY WORKED THE BEST OF THE THREE! THE HAD THAT BALLOON SHAPE WHICH ALLOW THEM TO SINK IN A LITTLE BIT MORE AND THEY HAD A DEEPER CUT FOR MAD GRIPAGE! THATS THE WAY TO GO BRO! OH AND I HAD THE ITP WHEELS, NOT THAT I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM OR THE DOUGLAS RED/BLUE, BUT THEY FELT PRETTY TOUGH, AND I WEIGH LIKE 220, SO THAT TELLS YA SOMTHIN'

AS FAR AS FRONTS, CLUELESS.......

Thanks for the info Taco.
I was looking at Rocky Mountain For prices and tire sizes.
Any more help would be appreaciated.
Thanks,

DONT KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMIN FROM BUT CHAPPAREL USUALLY HAS PACKAGE SETS GOING PRETTY CHEEP. DONT ASK FOR ANY DIGITS ON THE PADDLES, IVE PRICED SOME KNOBBIES AND SOME FRONT SAND TIRES AND THEY SEEM REASONABLE........ I THINK A SET OF THE "RAZORS" (KNOBBIES) ON RIMS WAS LIKE 200 AND THE "DUNE TRACKERS" (FRONT-SAND) WERE LIKE 170...

Thanks again buddy,
I found the chaparral site.
but I didn't find any STU's there.
I'll give them a call in a few days.

Next question: what size?

OHHHH BOYYYY, OH HELL I DONT KNOW, LIKE 10X22 I THINK.?? THE KEY THING WHEN BUYING PADDLES, IS TOO FIND A SET UP THAT DOESNT CHANGE THE OVERALL DIAMETER COMPARED TO IF I THAD THE KNOBBIES ON. FOR INSTANCE IF YOU HAD DIAMETER OF LIKE 16 INCHES WITH THE KNOBBIES, YOU WANT THE SAME IF NOT CLOSE TO THE SAME IN PADDLES.

THATS SO THE RPMS AND THE POWER BAND STAY THE SAME, AND YOU DONT OVER REV THE BIKE RUNNING TOO SMALL OF A PADDLE. COMPRHENDE?
