We are thinking about taking a ride down to Los Gatos Creek near Heron Ca, is any one familiar with the area? Where is the best staging area?
looking for pics of wheels that have failed on you post bent, shattered, broken etc.
I’d like to start a thread of wheels that have failed on people, to stat wheels just don’t shatter. i have started a thread in the xpt900 section about my issue that i have had with hiper wheels and the response from people was mixed. I would like the fellow members to post their pics of the wheels that failed and how it happened. This also gives some feedback for the vendors and their products as well. This was my issue with my hipers as you can see in the pic the wheel just shattered into a couple of pieces from taking a turn at about 20 mph trying to power slide on dirt

Pitbull tires in Moab
I stopped by your both the other night and no one was there.
Do you have any pitbull 27.5 for a 14" rim with you? Rear tire.
Thanks

My new/used bass boat
Well sold the quad and decided to upgrade my little aluminum boat that I built into one a little bigger. The boy is growing and we are getting cramped so it was time.
Sure I would have fun with a big 21ft. modern bass rig with 225hp, but in reality I don’t need it or can afford it,,,lol!
I found an original condition package built deal ProCraft 165 Pro Yr.2005 for a good price and in good condition. Believe me I looked at allot of junk that people wanted 5k for that wasn’t worth 2k! just like the atv world. It’s rated for up to 90hp, but it has the package deal 50hp Mercury is all. But its good enough for me. Should run mid 30’s plus depending on weight.
I’ve been working on getting back into the bass circuit for the last year or so now, and this will work for the local level bass clubs. Hopefully I can qualify for a FLW event like I did back in the 90’s. Back then it was the Redman circuit that i qualified for as an amateur though, (I fished in the back of a pro’s boat)and I did very well with it….paid off my first home from doing that stuff…but I’m just keeping fun in mind for me and the boy and some local competition and see how it goes. Not as young as I once was, and with back and hip surgeries in the past. 8hr. fishing days for 3 days straight..And keeping your focus takes allot of commitment,,,,but I’m not dead yet so I will give it another go at almost 50yrs old..its been almost 20yrs. since I competed and owned my Bass Pro shops,,,,man time flies!!
It runs like new and was well taken care of. Needs a couple of little things, and a real good clean up as I’m picky about those things,,but at least it was garage kept and washed. I gotta polish up those wheels, and trailer, and boat. And replace a couple seats with my preferred fishing seats,,although i used to just stand,,lol!
Well here is one pic, and a couple of pics of me and the boy out doing some fishing in our little tin boat that I built last week. I will hate to see the little boat go as we had allot of fun in it, but its to the point I can only run it alone. My little boy isn’t so little anymore at 250lbs. and me at 200lbs.,,the poor little boat is gonna sink,,,,lol!

Does anybody know how many miles of trail are in the Carlisle County River Trail system?
Thanks
True dual rate springs!
I keep seeing posts about dual springs not being dual rate because they have no crossover rings which makes no since to me. How is a dual spring not a dual rate? you have two rates which when combined makes the final rate? All a cross over ring does is allow adjustment of when the top spring transfers to the longer lower spring, if the upper spring is tuned right (the right weight and length) then you don’t necessarily need a cross over to adjust it because the top spring will coil bind basically doing the same as a crossover ring.
When the top spring "coil binds" it is no longer in the picture and the lower spring is doing all the work. A cross over can be adjusted to engage the lower spring sooner by bypassing the top spring sooner but if this is not needed the cross over and the tuning spent adjusting it is wasted. 9–9
If a shock is bottoming out to soon a set of cross overs can help by taking the small spring out of the equation sooner but if the shocks are working as they should without the cross over then a cross over is not needed?
I can see a cross over being beneficial if you want to really fine tune your setup and I can see it being beneficial if the spring rate is off (or top springs to long) where you can then adjust the crossovers to get the spring rate closer (or springs shorter)to where it needs to be.
My question is why is a dual spring not a dual rate without cross over rings? Even if both springs are the same rate they are still a dual rate and will have a combined rate of different from each individual spring.
example: a 250 over a 250 will not have the same spring rate as a single 250lbs spring. Reason is because springs are rated at lbs per inch, meaning it takes 250lbs to compress a 250 through 1" of travel so at 6" travel it is at 1500lbs of pressure. so a setup with 250/250 will work together for a softer ride and at 250lbs of pressure the shock will travel 2". Make since? probably not but 250lbs will compress each spring 1" and seeing their is two springs that means two inch of compression. Now will anyone ever use a 250/250 setup? Most likely not but for example it works.. I hope this helps someone under stand springs. And I hope someone with a little more knowledge than me steps in with more info.
Throttle tension
Is there anyway to lighten the throttle return spring a little bit
