+4 swing arm from e bay

[Dgrey]

The guy sells on e bay under the title:

Choice of length +2" +4" +6" +8" +10" +12" and powdercoat color

and his name on e bay is: 2manysprees

 

The swing arm that I purchased from this guy AND my dad's swing arm (both +4's) which are the exact same thing both started cracking at the desert at the same time, in the same spot where the dog bone mounts to the swing arm just a little to the side. You can see where the welds are along the side is where it was cracking with LESS THAN ONE YEARS USE.

 

I guess I can not talk total trash about him because it has a 1 year warranty, and was willing to exchange for a new one, but I did not want to exchange it for another one because I know the same thing would happen again. BECAUSE I purchased one for my DAD at the same time (note my dad is 46 years old and does not ride as hard as I do) although he does drag at the hills at Gordon's and Glamis all the time and likes to drag on the flats as well. We only ride dunes. I jump my bike every now and then but nothing that I would think would bend or break anything. I would consider our rides mans rides that are usually fast-paced through the dunes balls out.

 

ANYWAYS my dad was to lazy to weld his right now so he shipped it back for another one even though he said "yeah it will probably happen again" but he is probably going to weld his up like mine before he uses it again.

 

That's my rant and I just wanted to advise people to purchase from another person unless you want this to happen to you.

 

Check out the gusset and weld... I found some good spray paint that almost matches the same and I painted it last night. If I feel like it i'll put it back on tonight.

That sucks. At least he is going to warranty them I guess.

 

Are these mild steel or chromoly?

 

You know the old saying, you get what you pay for.

T-dub is the way to go for swingers. Great quality and great price!

LOL his add says

 

Made with laser cut 1/4"steel plate, 11.Ga.1"X 2" Weighs 12 pounds

 

Swingarm is virtually indestructible! <------------- I would be inclined to say BULL SH*T to this. I e mailed him and told him that I was going to post this and he said "DON'T THREATEN ME with spreading false roomers" I said its not false because it happened to the only 2 swing arms that we bought from you and he never replied, but I didn't like his tone of e mail.

swingarmshop on ebay makes good arms. Tdub does, but they're pricey...

 

Metaltech makes very nice ones as well, I love my 14 over!

To be fair, What did you think the guy was going to say. Please go ahead and talk shit about me on the net.

Did he type in CAP's?

No I didn't think that he was going to say that. I just wish that he would improve his product he makes it sound better than it is. He got all pissed off at me like it was my fault. It says virtually indestructable and I nearly killed it in less than one year.

I would have atleast send it back and let him swap it for another one. Do you not believe in a 2nd chance's?

I could have sent it back and got another one and had it welded, but that is a PITA. I didn't ride after I saw it cracking because that is what my dad did (he though the paint was chipping) but it was a crack and it got bigger.

 

I think my swing arm was a second chance. We had 2 of them and 100% of them cracked. I don't really care im confident my weld and gusset will provide long life for this swing arm and I only added about 1 pound max.

LOL, "2manysprees" is the same person/seller as "swingarm shop"

 

He created the second company when I started competing with him online...

 

Don't believe me? compare the return address from both...

Im not doubting it im just saying they are NOT STRONG what so ever. less than one year and I had to fix it. Would not buy again or recommend anyone to buy unless you feel like making some gussets if you have the time and experience.
