i never had durablue problems, i even got a sweet sponsership with them, if any one needs durablue parts just let me know i get them 10% under dealer cost. also i had a eliminator axle in the racer before the x33 but i hit the bleachers at the palace and destroyed the axle. i had buddy from local bike shop print me a reciet for the axle and 2 months later i sent it to them for warranty, had to wait alittle it didnt look new, but any ways they sent a new one with in 3 weeks.
