Alan, I JUST took delivery of a Vee Rubber 8 blade ($30) in a 5.30X18. I'll let you know on Monday how it works out. I've run 8 and 10 blade Cheng Shins and an 8 blade King Turbo. I prefer the 8 blades for most everything, they seem to turn better for me, though the 10 will climb a hill better ;)

Thanks, I think I have a spare wheel bought on e-bay for my YZ490 for $100 :D so I wanted to try one out!

Alan I use a 8 paddle cheng shen. Very inexpensive. The More expensive better paddle is the hooker skat traks. I bought the Cheng shen on the price. The hooker is a wider tire. Check out the paddle with nobbies in the middle. http://www.skat-trak.com/motorcycle_main.html#

I checked out that site, they have some really cool paddle designs. The Predator is the one with the center nobbies. I sure would like to find out if anyone has used them!
