Recommended Posts

jon.ford

I have recently broken one of my bottom wish bones tore out Rose joint (front end into a bank at speed) My arm looks slightly different to others on forum, can any one recommend a supplier I don't really want to spent the £600 they are on eBay for.

Thanks Jon Ford

You've kind of answered your problem there, in so much as the old addage "pay peanuts; get monkeys". Particularly with competition use, where they are getting a lot of hammering. My arms are the more expensive of the available options (mainly due to the spec of the ball joints) and have lasted me 10 years of competition use now - including forest stages. I've only ever had to replace one joint and that was after driving the wheel into and over a 2-course wall at Caerwent. When you think about the price, but put it into the context of lost events (or even your own personal safety, if we're talking about some of the REAL cheap options), I don't think it's really worth pondering for long... ;)
