have this problem. I run the Nev DTC 2.1 and I'm getting bad wear grooves on my chainstays. I've took the hit and ordered the wider ML ver. 2.01 (late 2005 and current) chain stayswddamf said:
. I still can't believe I have to pay over $375 for one of those things!! I really don't get piss off too often, but this is just a rip off... no doubt! How can Dave Turner manufacture and sell his 5-spot lowers for $150 while titus can't... even with the overseas production.... whats up Titus???
Did you call Titus to complain? They've offered a deal for '05 Moto-lite owners if you turn in your old stays. They only come in polished, but it's better than paying full retail.EndUser said:have this problem. I run the Nev DTC 2.1 and I'm getting bad wear grooves on my chainstays.

I don't think (I could be wrong) that a formal trade-in program ever got announced, however, you can call Titus to explain nicely your "upgrade" situation and see if they'll work something out with you.EndUser said:I did not know this. I've been dealing with my LBS and they did not inform me of this trade in program. When was this annouced?? Dulyebr... you just made my day man

Upon reading this I contacted Titus right away they confirmed it. For only a limited time, while inventories remain good, they are heavily discounting the swing arms for early 2005 ML owners ONLY. This must be done through a Titus dealer and I will have to send in, trade-in, my old swing arm as a part of the deal.zorg said:
Chris may not interact with this board all that often, but he definitely reads it. And, he's responded personally and thoughtfully to every email I've sent him -- very impressive I think.zorg said:It's great to see Titus doing the right thing for its customers. Now, if Chris would just 10 minutes a month to interact with his customers on this board, it'd be downright perfect!
Yea, I wonder the reason he doesn't ask this board's opinion more often. It probably would have saved all the hassle of the mistake of using the RX swingarm on the ML when Titus really should have gone with the Quasi swingarm initially. Hell, he could have just asked Charles at Hammerhead bikes.zorg said:
When I broke my HH100x frame over a year ago, Al offered a ML for $725. I was this | | close to doing it until I asked about what the max size tire I could run. Al told me 2.1, I commented that I wouldn't buy a frame that couldn't fit a 2.3, and that a 5" bike really should be able to run a wider tire. I said it nicely, not like a know-it-all like it sounds here. He basically told me "that's the way it is...", at that point in time there was no wider chainstay option.dulyebr said:
the RX chain stay should fit. why not ask. its not going to be $800 for a chain stay.craigstr said:
