is the axle worth 178? how does it stand up to abuse? does it bend easy? if anyone knows let me know i just have right around 200 for an axle, want one with lifetime warrany just cant find a cheap used one.

just depends on what you are doing with it.. If you are a hardcore MX'r, not the axle for you. If you are just a rec rider, the axle will perform great.
I've put mine through A LOT of bad landings... Still perfectly straight.
all the racers that i talk to say they have bent them and the warranty is hard to have done. myself and others only trust LSR,RPM, and Leager
if you've got 200 for an axle, gforce is the only choice.

its a good axle for the $, just depends on how hard you ride.

im about to get into mx'ing been riding for years and finally been on some tracks the last year and just been killin em. so ill save up a couple weeks! thanks guys
There was a post comparing durablue and gforce somewhere. Lots of good info there.
I run a gforce. i have been for about three yrs with no problems

i dont do mx or do triple jumps. but i dune the hell out of my bike and its held up fine for me.

it comes with lifetime warranty, send in the damaged one and get a new one back.
ive had one for 2 years now and it still looks new. but i only ride in sand.
Been racing MX all season on my G-force. I hit the triples at most tracks and have had some horrible wrecks this year. The axle is still perfectly straight.

ive had mine for about a week now and i love it. already been jumping the chit outta it and it has held up great so far.

One good way to tell if your axle is really still straight is run it on flat ground up to 5th gear and you'll know! Trail riding is not a good indicator..FYI only...
i've had my for alittle over a year and still staright...

really? the chrome on mine is pretty much gone.

when i turn the front tires throw a small roost that goes under the bike and hits the axle. look at my pic down below.

What makes ya think i ride just trails??? I hit the motocross tracks here all the time and now that im sittin at 50", i wont be riding trails too much anymore. ive rode it up and down the road by the track drag racing after ive been jumping it, and it is not bent at all..........
I broke a durablue, bought a gforce and had it to the track once, noticed no difference in performance or quality at all. One thing I did notice was how tight my hubs stayed on the gforce. Id check the durablue hubnut AND locnut about every hour riding and it would be loose, not once has the gforce needed tightening- which suprised me because the gforce sprocket hub isnt pressed on.
i love mine but i mostly dune and mild mx and trails.
