Wheel Spacers
Wheel Spacers
I was thinking about getting some wheel spacers for the rear as opposed to a wider axle. Any ups or downs to this? Also, which bike would I have to order them for?
I've had the Durablue 2" spacers on the rear of my '02 Cannibal for about a year and a half now. They are extremely light and don't look too bad. They have a lifetime warranty and are fairly inexpensive. Handling is much improved especially in sand. I just broke my second one though, and I'm looking for an axle. My advice is to just go for an axle.

Well, I was looking at the GForce aluminum spacers. I wouldn't think they would break as easy as the others.
I had some wheel spacers on my quad until a I forgot to tighten down the lug nuts after a tire swap and messed a couple of them up. I now have an extended axle. If there is someone else out there that has messed up some spacers and needs some, I think I may have about 5-6 of the 8 needed in the garage. I threw the bad one out already.

Kevin, I had the Durablue spacers on my Dale up until January when I bought the Durablue 2+2 axle. You've seen the jumping I do and I didn't have any problems with them. If you go with wheel spacers, don't go with the type that uses individual spacers on each stud. Go with solid wheel spacers like the Durablue. The stock Cannondale axles are very durable and hard to bend.
P.S. The new map I put in screams!! I'll show you this weekend. :wow
