I am getting them for my raptor and have found 60$ to be the cheapest ive found so far for durablue spacers. This was in RockyMountainATV and also they had UM for 60$. I am looking for the rears +2.5/side. Has anyone here ever found any place cheaper than this for them? Thanks a lot for any replies----Rider1169

 

ebay

 

other than ebay by any chance?

 

If you ride your Rappy like most of us do I highly dicourage the use of spacers, save the cash and buy an axle you won't regret it. My spacer broke third ride on it and left me stranded and looking an A$$. They may work for flat track or gentle trails but not rocks and cross country!

 

A lot of ppl on here do have the rear spacers and have no complaints. But i have also heard that some ppl with them tried to go on the track, and said that the stock axle doesnt like the extra leverage on it off any big jumps. I dont plan on MXing or hitting huge jumps, just recreation.

 

What do you guys think about the front spacers by Durablue? they are narrower and I dont think put AS much leverage on the a arms... Any bad experiences?

 

If you put spacers on your front wheels they will add a lot of leverage to the steering as the centerline of the wheel will be further away from the steering knuckle axis. This means a lot of bump steer! try more offset wheels they won't be muck more than spacers and are an easy way to grab 1" a side.

Rear spacers are fine for light recreational use but like I said be aware of any jump over 4', thats all it took to break my stock axle right at the bearing carrier causing more than its fair share of damage to me and the bike! Again a set of new wheels with more offset in the rear will give you 2" more width without so much risk.
