CRAZY-SHEE! Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 ok.. i think the next xosmetic and performance upgrade on my banshee is gonna be my axel.. whats the best stuff out there? Ive been looking at the axcaliper or w/e i dont really care about the ability to make it +2 wider.. totally pointless to me. Whats the most durable thing out there? Quote
jlsparky7 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 I just got a g-force for 179 shipped brand new. Weighs about 20 lbs and I cannot imagine someone able ot break it. Not to mention if you buy it from RMATV it will be no hastle replacement. Has a lifetime warranty as well. No sense in dropping 400+ bucks on an axle that is the same quality with the same warranty as the 200 dollar one. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 I have the same RMATV GForce it doesn't get any better for that price & it's bling! You can even go +4 with this one, +2 makes perfect stability sense! Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 20lbs just for the axle? You should stick with stock because the stock one with all the stuff on it weighs 18.4lbs Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 althought 2 lbs isnt shit... id agree... if your not looking to widen your rear end... stick with stock unlit you bend your stocker... no point in spending 300 bucks for something that isnt broken... Quote
theshee Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Id have to agree. If you want something other then stock i would get a g-force. They may be a little heavy, but they are cheap, they look good, have great features, and have an great warranty. Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 if the axle alone is 20 lbs then the whole combo is 8 lbs more and that is rotating weight. And you guys wonder why your getting beat by the 4 strokes. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 how is the combo 8 lbs? using same hubs and wheels the only differance is the axle... where did you get the extra 6 lbs? Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 a stock complete axle is 18.4 lbs hub to hub...........and the g force axle alone is 20lbs from what he said.... Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 ahh ok i see ... i dont think its 20 lbs dry but i could be wrong... Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Im just going by what he said. Someone should weigh it. I heard the durablue is really heavy. Quote
RNBRAD Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 If you want the best axle with the best warranty, hands down RPM Dominator. Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 If you want the best axle with the best warranty, hands down RPM Dominator. Agreed and at 350 i don't think its all that expensive for the best. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) stocker may be a little lighter but I doubt it makes much difference. yea it't rotating weight but really small diameter...So it is not the same as really heavy wheels for example. Here is the website that explains it: http://www.canecreek.com/moment_of_inertia.html The closer to the hubs the weight is added the less you have to worry about the rotating aspect of the additional weight. The MOI does not increase nearly as much, Since we are talking abuot the axle itself you can't get any closer to center... I would second the g-force for the price but RPM makes some really nice stuff. Although 350 is not a ton of cash compared to what bendy blue wants, it is still 75% more! I woud keep the stock one if your not planning to go wider. The only reason to get another one is if you bend the stock one, or want to go wider for more stability. The chome gets sandblasted quickly anyways. Edited May 10, 2007 by Justintoxicated Quote
