Is it possible to use paddles on trail rides/not dunes

[bigworm626]

Hello Everyone,
I figure I might get rimmed on this question, but I'll ask it anyway. I have a set of rear paddle tire for my 200s which I don't use. Can they be used for riding on trails or soft dirt roads? I never go to the dunes, only to Baja Ca.

I wouldn't recommend it.....the tires will be thrashed very quickly! Not to mention the rough ride.....

I agree with the above.... You *can*...but I wouldn't...Why don't you sell them on Craigslist or here and buy some tires you can use?

It would ride so terrible, have you ever ridden a trike with paddles on a hard surface? It sucks

[harryredtrike]

sell them to get your money out and buy a new set or trade with someone.in cali someone will want paddles

I rode a set of V-paddles on my T3 down in the sand in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Within a short amount of time the hard packed sand/clay mixture began to tear through the point of the V. Don't ruin them, sell them to someone who can use them and buy a set of budget trail tires.

They work somewhat well in snow and mud, but still wear on them pretty bad. I would do what others said and sell them and find a cheep set of dirt tires. You can pick up factory honda tires and wheels pretty cheap on ebay. What paddles are they Im sure that someone on here may be interested in them, including me depending on what they are.

well, being a sand guy, I would have to ask....What kind of paddles arew they? 6,7,8,9,10 paddles or more?
Some manufacturers actually designed paddles with up to 40 paddles. they where meant for custom creations by which it was the customers choice as to how many and what size paddle they wanted. What size are they? Got pics? I have trailpros and may be up for a trade ;)

rockeymountainatv.com has a large selection of tires and they are priced decent. They also carry other gear you can use on your trike I believe you get free shipping when you order more than $100.
