How about some tips on riding with Paddle tires?

I have never ridden paddles before, what do I need to know?

Are you kidding me? You've not used a paddle on that beast yet?

Use the power to steer the bike, lite on the bars and let the 500 show you why it IS the dune daddy

OH YEAH... You've never felt traction like this...

Try road tyres on tarmac if you are after traction...

Not yet! The only area I can use them out here is very small, only good for a test ride! So I have been waiting for Glamis!

Ahhh, work on shoulder strength. My first time in the dunes on my 500 was awesome but i felt like my shoulders had been pulled out of the sockets the next day

Sir John, one day very soon I shall have that feeling

So, How many paddles and what's avail. for a 19"?

BTW, I've never ridden with a paddle, either.

Manny, the paddle you are looking for is the King Turbo paddle. I ran that thing when i had a 19" and it's awesome

ShanMan · « **Reply #13 on:** October 22, 2003, 05:09:53 PM »

regardless the make of tire, a 500 needs a 10 blade at a minimum, and a 12 would be better!

Paul · « **Reply #14 on:** October 22, 2003, 05:12:02 PM »

The drawback to the 19 is that you can only get an 8 blade, the king turbo has the deepest cups.
