New Tires, Rims, Hub & Test Ride

[Livinstrong]

Hey guys, I had scored some ITP Holeshot XCTs 22x11x10 on ITP C series rims and two spare rims on Craigslist for 100 a few months back. The only problem was that the rims were a different mount pattern than the Blaster. I soon found out that 1989/90 Banshee hubs are the same pattern and after 3 months of checking eBay, found a pair. Mounted them up and here it is!

The Blaster looks sooo much better with the new tires compared to the old, completely bald Fast Trekkers

Before:

Now:

Went for a test ride with the new tires, completely different... Much less torque, increased top speed and didn't ground out on every rock like I used to.

looks like a lot of meat back there!! the older banshee's have the same lug pattern as the front wheels if im not mistaken

 

[Livinstrong]

Yea I think so, at least it looks that way

EDIT: Yea, with the 14 tooth from sproket, the 22's are really bad when starting on hills and such. Once I get the money I'll buy a 12t, and for now I'll put back on the stock 13

Any hill is possible with the right amount of speed into it...

Yea, I went down a rather step hill thinking I had my old tires on and once it came time to come up it, I realized how much trouble I had gotten myself into haha. Had to be the most sketchy thing I've done, ripping up an extremely rocky, steep hill with the throttle pegged so I didn't have to push it... Hopefully when I put the stock 13 tooth back on it shouldn't be as bad.

Thanks man! Oh definitely, especially with the trails I ride Haha that's hilarious!

Yea, finding a pair of those particular years took forever and was somewhat expensive (70 bucks shipped) but worth it knowing that it would allow me to mount those tires
