26" bushwheels

[ifdale]

I'm talking about the lighter airstreaks. I've heard a few taylorcrafts with them..how do you like them? I'd like a set. Do they come with an stc to cover the bc series? Mine is a 1941 bc-12

Re: 26" bushwheels

Thanks chuck ,how long have you had them and have you noticed any wear? You must have hydraulic breaks, i have single puck clevelands..imagine they'd be fine
Wonder if anyone's tried the 29's

go to 29's youll like the 26 but love the 29...your brakes will be fine and change later if you find yourself really pushing it that hard...good chance you wont....also youll find that staying on grass an that you have more dag with tail down that stopping happens easy enough

Re: 26" bushwheels

I've got 26s on mine, they work well for everything I do, but I find myself more horsepower challenged than tire challenged with only 65hp. Still does tundra, beaches and gravel/mud bars just fine.
Here is a taste of what you can do on 26s
