What model durablue were you using?

Mine is not junk...and I beat it to death. (eliminator)

It should have came with some kind of warranty.

 

I DO USE THE ELIMINATOR..IT IS TRASH! ! ! YOU MUST NOT RIDE MOTORCROSS....I HAVE AXIS SHOCKS ALL AROUND, SO IM NOT BENDING IT FROM BOTTOMING OUT..IT IS JUNK! ! !

 

Get an Axcalibur axle,they are the best.I have been using them since 91.Dura blues have always been weak.I have been told by plenty of racers that they are cheap/easy to bend.

 

It could be weak....But I have yet to bend one....

as long as you want to want to try to be rude...Maybe you should learn how to land strait...It would not bend then

I ride district 3 NY....I am not the best rider out there...But I like to play.

I Just wanted to show 2 sides to the story....You have already came up with the "educated guess" that the axel is right away weak. How about telling us how it happened? where you jumping a bit high? landing a bit sideways? On one tire?

Every piece of equipment has a breakpoint....maybe your just past that level ?

 

JIM, I WASNT TRYING TO BE RUDE, IM JUST REAL FRUSTRATED WITH DURABLUE....I DO JUMP BIG, BUT MY SHOCKS TAKE MOST OF THE BEATING, I JUST EXPECTED ALOT MORE FROM DURABLUE..

 

For the Price...your right...I would not expect them to break/bend. It can be frustrating. I value "your" review of the product.
It's just hard for someone like me who has not had a problem yet, sit and listen to someone else totally rag on the product.
When I do finally bend mine...I'm sure my attitude will be close to yours. I've been using mine for a few summers now, without a bend yet.
That's my only reason for my argumentative comments. I wish you better luck with a different brand...
