sick421 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I bought a play axle on here last week from a part out , it was advertised as a jj&a in mint condition . I got the axle Monday and installed it after i re-polished it to like new condition, but after looking at pics on the web of an jj&a and a live one at my buddy's shop it doesn't look like a jj&a. It looks more like a fireball , because the sprocket hub is solid no holes , and only 2 lock bolts instead of 3. Also this axle is solid and i know the jj has a 2in deep hole drilled at the ends the fireball doesn't? Please look at the pics and leave feedback, thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

n2otoofast4u Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I have an OLD JJ&A here. It looks nothing like that. The bolts are not counter sunk, has JJ&A engraved in the wheel hubs, the sprocket hub looks different, etc. The shaft is solid with thread taps on each end. His early axles only had 2 bolts. That is not a deal breaker. His early axles did not have holes in the fingers of the sprocket hub either Old school Quote
sick421 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 Look up a pic of the fireball , it looks more like that . Your sprocket hub is rounded on the fingers , mine looks more square as you can see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sick421 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 My hubs have no engravings either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
wfobasheeboy Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 That looks like a Fire Ball axle to me. They are a great axle too! Quote
98_sheester Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Either one is a good axle so i would be pleased with it Quote
sick421 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah its a fireball for sure , it looks clean i guess il keep it , i was just worried about replacement parts jj has better service Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
do-work-son Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Jj&a - lifetime warranty. fireball- no warranty Fireballs web site used to says life time but I called a couple weeks ago he told me there was no warranty because his axle where half the cost of his competitions That would be my biggest concern.

Wtf? Really? Quote
do-work-son Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Should say it was a couple months ago around January. I was going to buy a axle off hummer84 and called to check warranty he said he didn't offer warranty on his axles. Called jj&a that same day he said no question asked lifetime and you could buy it used he would still warranty it. Nothing against fireball they have nice stuff. Don't want this to sound like a bashing post. Quote
sick421 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 Damn that sucks , the problem is i paid jj&a price and got a fireball in return Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sick421 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 Another problem i spoke fireball themselves and they were willing to sell me a complete axle with carrier for 600 shipped , i paid 500 to infamous039 for a used axle i had to hammer togethor since non of the hubs would fit together smoothly . 500 is a steal for a jj&a axle anyday not a fireball Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
98_sheester Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah there was a whole bike with nice photos but infamous039 is a good seller i bought several parts from the same bike Quote
