Better long travel a arms? Laeger-$799(not pro trax-no stem) or Gibson $1400 w/stem

[micah]

I know the pro trax is the best you can buy, but I have not heard much about Laeger's normal LT arms that are $799. You dont need a stem with them so i would save about $250. Do you think the quality and performance of these would be equal to the Gibsons which after the needed stem comes out to be $1400?

What makes u think gibson is the best. I wouldnt run Gibson for free.IMO they are junk.. I'd take Laegers over gibson any day of the week

[micah]

never said Gibson was the best. I said I know that the pro trax is the best, but what one is better, the normal LT laeger or the Gibson.

Anyone running the normal LT arms from Laeger?

If you want the best handling get Walsh, hands down...if want close to the best handling and more reliability get the Pro Trax. Gibson is pretty sweet, and from what I hear people like them a lot. I was looking into building a Gibson YZF or CRF for next season...but hopefully I'll come across a Laeger chassis.

get lonestar:confused:

Get the Laeger LT's for sure. Talk to Terko440 he has the Laeger LT's with TCS Quadrates. If you don't get the Leager's go with Walsh.

[micah]

He has the $799 ones and not the Pro trax? I didnt know TCS made quad rates.

Laeger LT 1 (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63210) Laeger LT 2 (www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62425)
It's the Laeger LT, not the T-Pin. Yes TCS does make Quadrates as you will see in the pictures...

not sure i agree with yea, ive been havin some problems with mine. the little cer clip that holds the ball jionts in place has popped out on me twice already.one on a top bj and one on the bottom bj.:confused:

[YLW400]

Hey TRX thumper? Did the ball joint "break"....or did the socket head cap screw fall out of it? Mine fell out once, but it was my own stupidity. We didn't loc-tite it in like you are supposed to. I loc-tited it in, and haven't had a single problem out of them since.. Mine fell out right after a big downhill at Budds Creek :eek:

[jlhughes750]

i heard this from an XC racer, XC racers do not care much for DNF's, theres no 2nd. moto!!!!!

[YLW400]

lol....Thats very true.....I, however, was still in practice thank god. If I would have loc-tited it in the first place, I wouldn't of been in that situation. So, not the products fault, my fault :D

[blasterkid]

muff do you have any more pics of the front end

you know that may have been what happened...im not really sure...i stopped just long enough to see what happened to the quad and i saw the balljoint had come out broke or somethin...

[YLW400]

Other then my occasion, I have heard of one other time of that happening.
