Bad Experience with Durablue

[300exPat]

i take back everything i said good about durablue spacers, today me and 2 of my friends were racing around this track we mad as a figure 8 and i took off the line and hit some rocks then took a couple turns and hit a straight away way i was in 5th wide open, then i nailed on the brakes and popped the clutch around the next turn and apparently when i took off my spacer broke and the wheel must have caught around the turn so it sent me flying into a tree sideways, thank god for the tusk nerf bars

i wasnt sure whether to put this in trail tales or suspension

yeah so anyone thinking about getting these spacers, they lasted almost a year but now im just saving up for a full axle

I have been reading alot of negative posts about durablue on here lately and I agree. Spacers are junk to begin with from what I hear.

You should go RPM next time :D

yeah im looking into a new extended axle anyone have any recomendations??

im kinda looking for one with a warranty

If you don't want to shell out for a RPM, you can get an LSR fairly cheap. C&D can hook you up in that area. Also, LSR's warrenty is a lot better than Durachit.:p

Yes they do.

Yeah go lonestar. Best customer service around when it comes to axles. I broke one one time and had a new one in a week, but the landing I took would have snapped any axle that time. RPM is great too but is more expensive and I dont know how good their support is. Lonestar is probably your best bet and yes all the stock components fit.

alright thanks alot guys, as soon as i get the money ill be ordering one

man my cousin's stock axle with durablue spacers has lasted for years now and that bike has been through hell and back. but if your going to get an axle, if you dont get and RPM, get lonestar. i bokre my durablue after about 6 months so i dont recomend them for racing.

RPM and Lonestar are both the same price, IF you look the right places. I know a store with RPM's for $340 shipped.
