Better question, Kanter.

How are those Hayes Stroker Trails holding up on a big-bike like your SoCom?

I've got them on my trail bike, but haven't dared to try them on my big bike... yet.

Im loving the Hayes Stokers. I only got about 10 rides on them before winter hit. A couple of 10+ mile DHs so they have been broke in just right.

I havent been able to find pads for them, yet. I dont need any right now, but I always like to have a couple spare sets.

Yeah, I just don't know if their power seems lacking because I'm running 7"/6" on my trail bike, versus the 8"/8" on my freeride bike, or if it's just a different feel to the brake.

I do love mine as trail brakes though, that's for sure.

Kanter, how do you like those tires?

Have you had them offroad yet?

 

[Bixxle]

He's after the testicular vehicular. Cool when people want cars like that, but know little or nothing about them.

 

[Kntr]

The tires are awesome off road and quiet on the road. You cant beat BFG tires. I LOVE em.

 

[Bixxle]

How are they in the wet, since they have no siping?

demerits for the ghey vanity plate

Thats not a vanity plate. Thats my plate. It was on this for awhile but I sold it.

Ive been into off-roading all my life and I have been racing for about 10 years. I won the overall last year. So I think I know a little about offroad. I even won a the Montana Superior Axle Rock Crawling Competition a few years ago. I was the only one that had a perfect run out of 23 vehicles and I even did the bonus line.

The solid axle on the Jeep might be old technology but its tough and it works. I am loving the KM2s for those that have asked. They are super quiet and air down nice. They are awesome in the snow. I havent had the Jeep in the mud. I have another rig for mud. I dont want to run the Jeep in the mud yet with only 1000+ miles on it. I use my white bronco for mud and racing. I probably have close to the same amount of money into my race bronco and its beat to death. Ill keep the Jeep for light offroad and mall cruising. Ill use the bronco for those tougher trails. Its a lot easier to work on and lots less expensive to find parts. My Jeep might be a poiser but whenever someone wants to hit the trails, Ill bring out the bronco. My Jeep has and will see some light offroading but nothing hardcore. Id like to drive it on the street for awhile. It rides much better with the lift.

Its funny how people always bring up mall cruising. Some people just like to have a capable rig. My Jeep will definately see some offroad once I get a few miles on it but not yet. I will hit the local ORV park (Offroad Recreational Vehicle) this summer though. I will admit there are a lot of mall cruisers that will never see offroad.
