i was wondering ....are the wheel spacers capable of jumping w/out breaking?...i dont mean like 3-5 feet of air...i mean will the hold up on a mx track w/ up to 10 feet of air...if so...i want them

so...help me out

thanks in advance

I have them on my raptor and they work great. I don't race any mx tracks or do any triples, but for what I do, they're great. I've pulled 5-6 feet with them and not one problem. Definitely worth the money for a quick, cheap fix. However, if you want to race mx, I would go with the lonestar 2+2 axle. (JMO)

 

You definatly don't want spacers for big jumps...if they don't break they will end up bending your axle. If your putting them up front they will make your front suspension softer and it will bottom out easier. Plus you get alot of bumpstear from spacers on the front...just spend the extra $$ and do it right......

 

i wish i had the money for a new axle, if and when i get one im gonna spend the $500 and get the unbreak/bendable one by dura blue, i think i am going to get them for the front and if i do experience the suspension bottoming out easier, ill just adjust them

thanks

Durablue sucks RPM axle about $400 lifetime gaurentee......

Instead of wastign your money on junk wheel spacers flip your front rims and see how bad that sucks.....it will be the same thing as wheel spacers.

 

I never had a problem w/ the front wheels being flipped around on my old 300ex. A friend of mine w/ a 440ex has graphlite spacers for the back and he races MX and has had no problems... yet.

LOL, sorry man, but unbreakable and unbendable in the same sentence w/ durablue is just funny. The only axles I have ever seen break are durablues. The only people I have ever heard complain about crappy axles were talkin about durablues. Go w/ Lonestar or a Dominator axle.

 

ok..i worded that a little wrong... i didnt mean i WILL get the one by dura blue, but that was the first manufacturer that came into mind...what i really meant was....ill get an unbreakable axle....not necessarily durablue, but...if i did reverst the front wheels...how much width will i gain?

 

Don't reverse your front wheels, unless you're willing to reposition your air valves. More work than benefit.

 

I flipped my front rims and did not have to reposition my air valves. I removed that big block of plastic infront of my caliper and it cleared just fine. I think you gain an 1 and 1/2 or more by flipping the rims.
