wat are some advantiges and disadvantiges of a extended axle cause i have a extanded axle and i was ridden today and hit a few tress pretty hard so i was thinkin about going back to stock but i wanna wats the difference i know width is different and wieght also i think

 

My 660 is about 48 inches wide and I typically run public trails that are 50" wide. And when they say 50, in a lot of places they really mean 50. I have swiped a few trees with the tire sidewalls, but never actually "hit" a tree, let alone hard.

If you're riding in places where you cant fit your bike, you need to go smaller. Most axles are adjustable and can be shortened to a +2, stock, and even -2. I'd try adjusting before replacing.

Of course you could always slow down and ride at your skill level, running fast through the woods and clipping trees and stumps can and will cause a nastry wreck and serious injury.

 

yes i have adjust the most u can to small but still it is very wide like i slow but if i dont slow down enought and look back i hit trees some times my axle is very wide ill check tomorow and see how wide it is but i think its wider then 50

 

Wider than 50 would require a +7 or +8 rear end. Unless you're running a +5 axle along with +1 offset rear wheels or wheel spacers you are under 50. If you're over 50 with your axle adjusted in (+2 or +3 axle) then you'd need offset wheels AND spacers.

 

I want to see a pic of this wide axle.

 

im gonna go outside now and measure it

 

i think it a 48 with out the spacers i coudnt really check good cause its raining and its all muddy

 

Here's an easy fix, Take off the wheel spacers...

 

he dosnt have wheel spaces and his quad isnt that wide i ride his quad threw the same trails as him and never hit trees so its not to wide for the trails he rides.

 

i can ride good bro we went riding today and you told me you where behind me and that my axle is really wide

ok i measured it.it measures 48in and it was much longer when i first got it. it was like a 52 in because my hubs are adjustable on my axle there are spacers on my axle so i can adjust how far in or how far out i want my hubs to be
