Skat Trak Hooker why on such small carcass

Post by LOVEMYCR500 »

I just bought a 12 paddle skat Trak Hooker and I can't understand why they put these on such narrow little tires. These things are a joke. Are all of them this way? I guess it's on a 110 from what it looks like to me. I guess I will buy a tire and have one made next time unless I need to ask a few more questions before I buy the next one.

i dont know it depends on what type of climbing you are doing. i had a 12 paddle built on a 110 carcass because i wanted it to dig and not float. the rule of thumb is : floatation +wide tire penetration+narrow tire.

its just like these guys that get stuck in snow because they have super wide sand tires on their truck and i go circles around em and pull em out with my pizza cutter tall narrow diggers

Mine is a street bike tire, it's wide enough. It was a whore getting it on the rim because wide tires don't like to go on with those paddles forcing them out. My quad ones they used like farm and ranch tires from a John Deer. :?

I guess I haevn't thought of it that way with the narrow tire cutting through vs floating. I ride dunes only and I guess I'm looking at it like I would a quad, you want floatation. I guess with a motorcycle you are going to sink down so the narrower the less friction it's going to create. I guess we will see how it goes.

so what you're saying is that you would rather a fat hooker over a skinny one?
