what paddle haulers do you run

[broken1]

Stock 13/39 gearing would be a good start & like mentioned go with steel sprockets. I like Sunstar sprockets but recently got a PBI front & it seems to be holding up as good as the Sunstar. For chains I also use DID but would recommend the x-ring over o-ring for less drag

What these guys are saying about DID X-Ring and steel sprockets is 100% spot-on.  I'd consider JT steel sprockets too. 

For tires, it's preference.  I always preferred more side-wall of a 22x11-8 (or now-a-days more like 21x11-8) and with the higher rollout compensated by dropping about a tooth in the front (so 12-39 on a stock cyl motor) - which gets you back to about the same overall final ratio that 13-39 would have with a smaller rollout 20x10-10.

12 tooth front wears really fast.  I prefer 13/41 or even 42 if you need lower gearing. 

[The norm]

I ran 13/42 on my 310 for years with 21-12-8 9 paddle extremes. I had trouble with those paddles robbing power until I had Pete fix everything that whatshisnuts screwed up on my engine. After that my paddle/gearing/engine  combo was perfect! Keep in mind that I am a very manly man at 285lbs lol

so im think'in 13/41 gearing with some 8 paddle extremes and a 150lbs idiot. do yall agree on this or if i should change it and get diffrent gearing and/or paddles

[The norm]

No.... If you are using a 20" tall tire and have 8 paddles per tire stick with stock gearing

Swingarm length is also a factor in traction.  I dune at St. Anthony and keeping the  front end down on choke cherry can be a challenge.  The last few trips I have run 7 paddle edges and I like them.  I probably could use a +2 swingarm.

i run a stock swing arm but i need to get a better hole drill then i will make my own +2. and i do ride winchester and planning to go to st. anthonys soon after this carona crap
