Jes has a picture floating around of one of their LCAs after several years of serious rock use. i think there's also a picture of them cut to see the wall thickness, I seem to remember 2" .120 wall.

My arms are beat the hell up... They are more oval now than round, but still pretty straight over all. They have been holding up to abuse pretty well. They are the old style RE flex joints, not the Heims, but the superflex joints with just 2 C-clips and washers no tightening available.

They are probably 6 years old. I just recently replaced the bushings and rebuilt the Joints. I am considering reinforcing them with some plate steel or something.


But yes these arms will take a beating despite thier thin wall. -Tim
