leager vs lonestar

[ytman]

The original question was about plus 2 a arms so all this talk about frames is crap. Lone Star arms are more adjustable and probably better for anything other than MX as you can slow down the steering. Laegers traditionally have quicker steering and are busier in the rough and not adjustable.But..some frames have short mounting tabs and wont accept the heims of the adjustable arms.Fat old desert racer's 2 cents

It depends on if they are standard balljoints or protrax. The protrax you will notice a differance, people describe them as being "twitchy". The balljoint Laeger won't be like that.

I have a tweaker neighbor that's like that. "twichy"! LOL, but thats good to know sense I just got my +2 Long travel Pro-trax frontend in the mail today. I've been wanting one since my Lobo doesn't have the options of a Pro-trax. I can't wait to check out the difference between the 2. It may take a while though. Seeing that the laeger build is just a pile of parts right now! LOL!

That's good info ytman. I didn't realize the heims can be a bigger diameter than the bushings style. Are the tabs on the stock frame long enough?
Are those FullFlight a-arms advertised on ebay any good? I ride recreationally and just bought a wider rear axle and was looking to do something for the front as well. Can you use the stock brake lines with reg travel +2?
Thanks for your time.
