I'm shopping around for a new axle nut, I have a lone star axle. I don't wanna spend a ton but who makes a good one for the Money? Thanks

RAD makes a great locking axle nut. They are roughly $50 and ive used them on several bikes. They hold up great!

Little pricey I know, but I have used the same Lonestar Axle nut for roughly 6-7 years and it's held up and worked flawlessly. You get what you pay for on some of these things.

agreed ^ if you can afford an anti-fade then go that route. If not the simple RAD locknuts hold up very well.

I've been eyeballing this one on ebay. Not sure if it's any good or not. Has anyone used one extensively? I see that ASR sells the same one without "East Coast ATV" on it so I don't know if that's a good sign or not. Might be made in china?
