T-Dub Swinger.... Busted

[Krandall]

So... Took the rappy to Silver Lake this weekend. Was out all day friday, tearin up the dunes, was flyin high, we decided to go for one last ride... Heard my chain dragging.. Here's the outcome... You think Tony will be warrentying this?

What is the thickness of the tubes? I am curious as I am doing a 7/8" .062 swinger. It is drag only as the struts dont absorb jumps very well. Just curious?

[exentix]

wow that blows  isnt the t bud ones people have been breaking? didnt preddy break 2 of em? 

[socalrappy700]

    Don't know what else to say.

[Krandall]

Yeah, only one I saw broken was preddy's I was just ignorant.

Not sure the thickness 1fst690. I'll guage it this coming weekend.

[socalrappy700]

any idea on if you'll go with a new one, and which brand?

[BRAD]

dang dude that sucks. sorry to hear bro. atleast it broke at the end of the weekend

[Krandall]

Beans is gonna test his luck @ repairing it. But, I'm looking currently @ lone star.

[socalrappy700]

what size?  and look at eyeball or metaltech.

[preddy08]

eyeball makes some nice, tough stuff, but they are proud of there stuff!

I would be.

I really liked metaltech.  I got to go to their shop once.

[wobble]

You think Tony will be warrentying this?

I'm sure he will. Give him a call. 

That blows. Hey Preddy, did yours break in the same place?

[Bert]

Krandall - How much was the swinger?  How long did it last?

What is the swing arm made of ? DOM tubing or .... Moly

[powder coater]

I heard a rumer that Tony could be at my shop this week. If and when I see him I will mention your swinger and see if we can get another one. SLC makes a strong ladder bar swing arm you should be able to beat on pretty good. That is the style is going to build for myself in a +10.



Frank  that's .120 wall tube.  I bent my 1.25 od .120 wall swinger just behind the shock mount this weekend pounding the whoops. I would think a 7/8 .065 would be ok if you keep it short and on the track only. Its going to want to twist right to left. a larger OD with the same wall thickness will give you more rigidity with out a lot more weight. If you want to know exactly how much give me a call and I could figure it out for you.

i haven't read a good review of these swingarms yet...too bad Krandall, terrible luck.
