Hey guys,

thats awesome man. you should put a thread up to see if anyone needs that done if you have the time. i'm sure you could make some extra dough.;)

too bad it will just bend back or worse snap in half in about a week. but good job though

That a boy! way to encourage a fellow rider. NOT. If your gonna hate on somebody and be jealous, dont post man. I'm sure your happy with your stock axle. :D

You are right to an extent. I work with all kidns fo emtals all the time, and know the weak factor, which cause vie bent back my axle its weak point has worsened...but its a piece of junk now. It wasnt bent much...and i bent it back to almsot perfect, and all i want it to hold up to is one practice, and a few trail rides with no jumps. It will be fine, but thanks for your encouragement!!!...haha
He does have a point...but layed it down kinda thick.

it sounds as if the bend was slight and i doubt anything you did will cause it to be weaker. the amount the axle needed to be moved was miniscule.

ive seen axles straightened (as much as an eyeball will call it straight) on the hitch of a truck and the feller is still riding it to this day. dont let anyone bag you, we all cant run $450 axles!
