longest studs

[ger]

what is the deal with studs , what is the longest I can use ?
do I need to thicken the gaurds ? Just up fron or the tunnel too?
I dont have the exhaust gaurd anymore , might be going with a 1.25 track

Anything longer than 1.375" and you're taking a chance, especially if you run your track on the loose side....Otherwise, you get into droping the skid, changing tunnel protectors, etc. to make room for the longer studs. Plus you get into bending issues, depending on your riding style and conditions.

Well put WarriorBeads,

I run 1.325 woody's Signature on my 136". I don't recommend these for aggressive riding, and plan on changing them to megabites or Macks later.

I also put 1/4 x 1" alum. strips for added protection as the studs scratched the cooler, heat shield, and die-cast pc. without them. It is allot of extra wrenching, but it's piece of mind.

so with the 1.325's I need to put extra on the protectors ?

I run 1.325's and don't have any extre protectors.

the studs I run only come in a 1.40 .
