i have a bent rear axle and it is going to cost 400$ to get a new one installed and it still runs but how long do you think it will ride before the bearings come loose or break?

I would say that your guess is as good as the next person's, on that question. I doubt if anybody will be able to answer that question with any certainty. I know I don't have any idea.

That $400 could turn into more...keep riding it and you could be looking at replacing bearing carrier...along w/ bearings...that alone will cost a few hundred. But to answer your question....flip a coin.

Whoa, you must have went down hard with the axle bent and all.

Anyways, you gotta change the axle asap bro

yep..replace the axle now..or wait it out..and replace alot more down the road. try finding an axle from bikebandit.com..or even ebay..thats what i would do..i'm sure there is a cheaper axle out there somewhere...try to locate a salvage yard somewhere..surely someone has an extra laying around.

Just spent $450 on a new axle and $80 on new bearings and seals and $230 on a anti fade breakhub and lock nut, replace your bearings now or you will spend a lot more later.

I would have to agree with everyone else. I know it seems like a large amount of money but it could get larger.

You priced everything top of the line. You can get a G-Force axle for 180

Park it, then fix it.
