Steel vs Aluminum wheels

[Bert]

I have a front & rear set of steel rims , should I toss them or use them on the 700

[shookie]

you could use them there going to be heavier

[PDX Raptor]

Sand or Dirt? No way I would run steel rims in the sand. Too heavy and you don't need the extra strength.

[Bert]

Dirt riding or ice riding

[PDX Raptor]

IMO then you do want a strong rim. I rather carry the extra weight and avoid bending up rims and losing beeds all the time.

crazy fun. My first time out, I had no clue how to stud. You are supposed to run the screws all tghe way through the tire. I bought 3/8" hex screws-worked for the front, the back ones were gone by lap three. THen..it was really fun. slip-slidin away

One moning we awoke to -25 degree temps, that day it warmed up to -3.
Its great fun but the races aren't remotely close to me so its a lot of driving with lodging, fuel costs, entry fees I could have bought my own snow plow
