    Alright axle gurus!!! Durablue or Lonestar??

    Just like the title says, is this a Durablue or a Lonestar axle? Ive asked a lot of people and its about 50/50 right now, nobody knows for sure. There is also an aftermarket carrier, can anyone ID it either? Ill try and get some better pics but this is all I have at the monent. Thanks

    That's a DuraBlue HD axle. Likely +4 width. I recently had the same axle in my bike.

    Not enough of the carrier showing for an easy ID, but it could be from any of a half-dozen different suppliers.

    It was the sprocket hub that gave it away for me. Wish I hadn't destroyed mine...

    Axle looks like my durablue I got. The splines are very close if not the same.

    Yeah, nowhere near enough coverage on the carrier to ID it. Could be RAD...hell, it looks just like the new Magnum dual-row carrier I just put in my bike. Could be anything.

    You could take it out to see. If its rad It should say rad on the left side on the inside by the sprocket.

    From what I can see on mine, that one in the pic looks exactly like it.

    definetly a durablue axle, as for the carrier, can't tell unless you remove it, they all have writing on the inside. However for bearings, most of the dual row carriers use the same bearings, I found them with seals for $30.
