I've got a durablue and I have had zero problems. I'm even running their locknut. Their locknut is simple and it works. It's never come loose on me. I race MX and I have yet to bend the axle. Durablue's warrenty covers the first axle. They give your a replacement for free all you have to do is pay shipping. After that it's $150 for every axle afterwards plus shipping. But realize this. When you go with a stronger axle it transfers the shock that would normaly bend your stock axle to your bearing carrier and to your swing arm. It's kind of a trade off. The axle's bend and break so your swing arm doesn't.

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM DURABLUE, Just from experience you will be better off with Lone Star.

There is my 2 cents worth.

The stock nuts will work just fine. I just don't know if they will stay tight, so I decided to go with the RPM nuts too.

I am with Need4speed on this one. I used to Race MX 250B AM class and used Durablue for 4yrs of racing and never broke or bent one. I now own a Raptor w a Durablue Eliminator on it and have raced in GNCC events and still play race and haven't managed to damage the axle. Just my $.02
