Cunningham_821, you say the Banshee axle assembly was the best thing, is the Banshee assembly that much lighter? Did you change your swingarm at the same time? I'm trying to justify the added cost and I just put new 4x110 wheels and billet aluminum extended hubs on (helps a lot sidehilling the dunes). I'm a big believer in lowering rotating mass and unsprung weight. I tested Douglas blue vs red label wheels, both had the same tires, and raced the same 2 guys up Dumont comp, red label I had a couple bike lengths on them and the blue label I had 3 times that easily, and the difference between .125 & .190 and on the smaller wheel circle, that much weight off the tire is compounded by the large circle. And lower weight doesn't have the lower reliability/longevity issues as adding HP. An axle doesn't effect rotating mass much but it's still unsprung weight. any idea what the weight difference and length between the Banshee assembly and the LT's? Thanks for the info. Lee
