XT with the baja j-7 wheels

[GoffeeRedCat]

I would like to see a pic of that balancer ...I need to build one myself.

I'll take a picture of it as soon as I get home! But to give an idea on what it looks like heres what I used! I used an old Baja bearing carrier and hub...so the carier spins freely, then I take that assembly to my bench vice and clamp it on....and there you go! Wheel balancer!! Lol

Re: XT with the baja j-7 wheels

Bobc...can you please weigh one of those tires for us? When I was looking for a set of tires too replace the heavy MT tires I was going to get these... someone said that they are only slightly lighter than the stock MT ones but just as tall...that makes them much heavier than the stock XT ones....thanks!

That's seems a little closer to what I remember asking imex about a year ago..they were about a -1/4 pound less each than the MT tires....and a bit taller but also less wide....

What gearing are you running with those tires? Where is the updated pics?

Re: XT with the baja j-7 wheels

I'm not running them, I was looking to replace the MT tires a year ago and wanted lighter ones, but my research found the imex were just about as heavy so I went with hostile nightmares....couldn't find anything that was just as big but lighter.
