WTB: stock axle

Well, seems my son tried to squeeze the bike between two trees spaced considerably closer than the rear wheels would alllow, and yup................. doinked the tree good!

Short of picking up a durablue (which is financially out of the question right now) I am in need of a stock axle to fit my '02.

I have no idea what they are worth or sell for, so if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of, let me know how much you want and I'll see if it's in the budget.

.....now if certain people would stop posting tempting offers, I might be able to get the stuff I need instead of stuff that looks good!

heh... ;D

Well I would try Ebay if no one here has a stocker; the problem is that the stockers sell for top dollar as well (about $150.00)! Also another expense to endure is the Axle Bearings ($40.00), you should replace the bearings at the same time as the axle! Then after that the entire project of replacing the bearings and the axle will take about 2-3 hours done carefully - sooooo if you take it to a dealer to do that is 2-3 hours of labor!

Gotta be careful with those guys that work at the dealers....... ;D

I can probably get someone to help me witht he install for the price of a few beers.

I haven't looked yet, but how much does a durablue run?

vinny are you sure that its the axle and not the rim?

i tested it when we bought the new rims (thanks to death)

it is for sure it is the axle

Looks like it's a stocker for me. Is that for a stock length DuraBlue or a widr track one?

...still haven't had a chance to check them out myself

That is for the Adjustable +2/+4 Eliminator Durablue.

As much as I'd like to go that route, it still looks like it's gonna be a stocker for me...... :-/
