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...

It almost looks like a rad carrier to me.

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.

I think thats the durablue carrier... I had the same one in my R when I bought it.. I came across a post somewhere that had a pic of that carrier and they claimed it was a durablue....??? I'll see if I can find it (the post)

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.

Sadly, I havent even touched the thing since last fall. :( Ive had too much to do between school and trying to keep mine and everyone elses cars on the road, and trying to finish other projects, but being broke doesnt exactly help that matter. :rolleyes: I dont have the time to pull the rear end apart just to find out what kinda carrier it has. I cant wait until summer break again...
