Abe

[LCW]

I bought an LSR axle from Abe a little over two months ago for a dune bike build. On first inspection of the axle, visually, it seemed like all was well. I didn't think much of it because Abe had claimed that it was straight. I went ahead and put it on the bench until I fished rounding up parts for the build. Fast forward to now I'm finishing up the build, put the axle in the carrier spin it and it's clearly bent. Upon further inspection with a dial indicator, the axle is defected around .030 on the left side. I pulled the axle to put it on a bench setup to indicate between the bearing races and found that was within .002 runout. I then decided to measure the right side and found that it was around .006 deflected. I contacted Abe at first sign of being bent. He wanted some evidence of my claim and I provided a video of indication. After that I asked what he wanted to do, he preceded to tell me that two months have gone by and it's my problem. Abe also seemed to think that it was bent during shipping. Both sides of the axle got bent during shipping and the middle is true? I just want Abe to make it right with me on this deal.

if Abe bought it new, it can go back to LSR under warranty.

Hope ya guys figure it out! Have bought a handful from Abe before and always have got good parts quick!

2 month warranty on used parts FTW!

Sprinklerman, used or not, it was said to be straight and it's not. I sold a used crank that came out of running bike to a member here. A builder recommended against using it for a new motor, I bought it back a month or two after I sold it.

Can you even feel .030" while riding it?

That's little more than a sparkplug gap.

thought you were going to run this axle and see what happened ? One complaint after another even though you have never actually ran it ? like I've told this guy a few times I rode the axle directly before shipment and it ran out fine. That is why I made the comment if it was bent then it had to be in shipping. Now did I check it for roll out with a dial? no but what fucking axle guru would on a used part if it rode fine and looked strait on a lsr axle that you sold for $115 shipped. IMO the buyer received a good working used part for a used price , isn't that what was suppose to happen. Now two months later I'm suppose to refund your money, I'm not here to take no one of their hard earned money nor to be took myself because you decided you wanted a new one

[LCW]

When I say I'm going to use it in your above post, I am referring to my bench setup for indication. What I payed is beside the point, it's principle in this situation. You said it was straight and it's not.

[Abe]

This was my last reply to the buyer , I am through here as I will not entertain a stupid rant for pages. Simply make your own decisions if you would like to do business with me in the future

[LCW]

For the record, you never gave an option to resolve the issue. I have never asked you for a full refund either. I was willing to work with you on this, but you obviously think someone else is to blame. Your word is your word...

I'm with Sprinkles, .030" isn't that much. If it was me I'd through it in and ride it to see if you can feel it.

[LCW]

It's .030 one way. Around .060 Total Indicator Reading. The other side is .012 Total Indicator Reading. The bends can be offset, I haven't checked yet, causing irregular bearing wear and premature bearing failure. In other words, I don't want to replace a carrier or bearings every riding season..

[Sandking]

Sounds like a refund is in order for a part sold as straight which it isn't.

[Deadbeat]

i bet your tyres are more out of round than .030, if everybody owned a dial indicator there would be hundreds of these threads

[LCW]

Tires aren't rigid like an axle. Besides everyone's opinions, the axle isn't what it was said to be.
