Status: offline 		im sure ill get flammed for this but i just dont like them .... its not good to flex a tire like that its going to deterioate the tire. I guess if you dont care about going through tires faster than normal its ok but i would like to know how long people have been running them

Status: offline 		The Crushlocks are without a doubt the best setup for a "Mud Bog Race." Nearly every bike that won this weekend at was running a set of Crushlocks. Would I run them on the trail? No. Not because I feel they would damage the tires, but because they simply wouldn't be the best setup for trail riding.

The EDL's that Adam ran on the 400 did great in the pit this past weekend.

And when you think about it, mostly everyone was running Crush Loks. Lol. They are definately a great rim for mud bogging.

Status: offline 		Rubber isnt made to be under pressure with that kind of flex. It like driving your car with underinflated tires. the extreme flex causes the tire to Flake/rub/wear away from the inside causing the sidewall to get weak leading to sidwall cracking or a blow out.  Its not like it going to happen right away and i understand that is not a trail setup, but its not good for the tires .... why not gust use tractor tires?

no, it squeezes the tire together so it skinnier and has less air in it

Hek you are partially right we can run less air for less floatation on top of them being skinnier for less floatation.

that is not true because they are not used in ruts, they are only for racing in mud pits

Status: offline 		The point of the wheel is to squeez the tire in creating a narrow contact patch that will grab and bite the bottom of the pit for maximum traction......you can fill the tire with some air....water .....or even 0psi of air to keep floating down...

This wheel is not reccomended for everyday mud riding ,as it was designed for mud racing only.
