[salamie slammer]

i was rideing yeserday at this place where i made jumps and stuff and well bout 10 minutes into riding i hit my 35 ft table top overshot it and snapped my axel it was a durablue it snapped on the right ==> side just tjought like tellin yall

[TheFontMaster]

Thats why I will never own a durablue axle. Call up the company, I hear they have great customer service, they should give you a new axle. When you get the new one sell it and buy a Lonestar axle.

[salamie slammer]

can i do that will they just give me another one

[EvilJester400EX]

Just call up durable, and you can take care of it on the phone. However I do think that they only refund axle's if it was you that bought it new, and not second hand from someone else.

during the 1st 6 monhts of owning your Axle, if it breaks, then its a free replacement, you MUST have a valid reciept that shows when you purchased it . The next axle if you break it , they will warretny it 1/2 price . Turn around time on a bent axle is 3-4 weeks, I know cause Im waiting on mine..

[salamie slammer]

thats the thing i bought the axel from somone eles

[salamie slammer]

so if i get the recipt i can get a new axel for cheaper

I've seen a few Dominator II Axle's snap. ;)

[trick450r]

just because of your name i dont want to talk to you

[salamie slammer]

its not like your thinking i work in a deli that my dad owns just thought it would be funny

[G Impala 63n70]

well, im not gonna stick up for lonestar here, i have a +2+2 lonestar adjustable, and it bent on me but i bought it used am im sure they wont replace it without reciept. So lonestar aint all that good either, i mean its reallly bent now.

Which Durablue is it? I know the X-33 is just as good as lonestart or RPM. I talked to Durablue the other day and they said all of their axles have been know to break but they have not yet had a case (or know of one) where the X-33 has broken.

The first X-33 axles produced were really good, but they also turned into the Durablue stereotype. I've seen a ton that have had hub problems and breaking around the bearing carrier area.

if your looking into getting a new axle besides durablue, id look in the team industries. i love it. its held really well for some bg jumps.

How high up were you that the axle broke on a 35'er? I regularly hit a 35-40 double on my ex, but then again I only get about 4-5 feet off the ground (uphill jump).
I have stock axle/suspension.

[salamie slammer]

i honestly dont no how high i was but to make an asumption id say prolly uhhhhh.......10-15 feet in the air i think
