Winterfest equipment question

[sgtmack]

Here's my question: I have a little money put aside,and I'm not sure what to spend it on. I don't have enough for a locker, darn it, but I can either buy steel to make rocker rails, or a make a CO2 tank setup. Which should I do? :wave:

Rock rails are definitely a good idea, for any Badlands trail. Others will have air available, if needed.

RAILS!

EVERY trail will require rails. If someone does not have them, there are bypasses.

Chalk another one up for R A I L S.


Last year at WF, I only ran green. I didn't have rails. I did manage to get into the rockers a bit, and they did bend in a little. Granted, I didn't have much seat time prior to that. I was sitting @ 3" then, as I am now. Lots of small steep hills with a quick break-over on green.
I suggest rails.
Co2 can wait.

I got 5-pound tank here.

pick up a simple regulator

and your in business.

The Badlands has air, so you can fill your tires.

Thanks for the replies! I was kind of leaning toward rails, but they are a lot more work than buying a tank and a regulator. I guess I'll order some 2x2 3/16 tube on Monday.

Just don't look too close at the welds when you see them. People point and laugh at me enough already. :laugh3:

Got a CB yet? JIM.

I think I have 6 of them in my parts room. The real test is if I remember one! :dunce:

i've needed rock rails almost every time i have wheeled, rarely needed any air on the trail. ( now watch, i'll get 4 flats next time out!!!!!)
