wheel spacers vs +2 a-arms

[creiss13]

I am looking at a wheel spacer kit that bolts on to the front hubs then the wheels bolt on to the spacer. This will allow my front wheels an extra 5in of width which I would like but dont have the money to do my a arms and etc right now. Will these wheel spacers hold up on tough trail riding?

I have had a set of front wheel spacers on mine for about a year now. Jumps trail riding and all and they hold up. I actually am parting my bike out and have them in the for sale section now....

+2 a arms would give you more stability and more travel,wheel spacer just give that extra stability and from what i have heard they make your steering feel heavy

I use both. Seems to hold up fine. It is real easy to over steer if you are not paying attention.

I had them when I first bought my banshee. I felt that when I hit something small like a rock or rut while trail riding it would tend to throw the handle bars more. It's deffinately a nice cheap upgrade, but its not anything close to new a-arms. I just realized I still have mine and would give them away for next to nothing. 25 plus shipping or something around there If your interested.

Anytime you move your wheel away from your pivot point with something like wheel spacer it will increase bumpsteer

I have 2" spacers on my yfz until I get money for a long travel and they suffice. I didnt buy them tho, so there is that as well. bump steer doesnt bother me a bit but then again I can bench press what my whole quad weighs
