How strong are axle spacers?
« on: October 01, 2013, 01:07:49 pm »
I just bought an 88' model, with plastic looking wheel spacers on each rear tire. I've never used them before and they seem like they are very weak the more I look at them. What's the odd of it breaking on a small jump? Like five feet or less vertical height?

More than likely they are Durablue brand. Mine were just fine and I beat the crap out of my bike lol. I do know that if your hubs are worn any they will exsensuate the fact

Ask Quadster on here what he thinks about spacers. Better yet, have him post up the pic!

I have to take the plastic spacers off of a quad any time I am doing dyno work.  The wheels wobble and hop on the rollers because they do not run true.
