It was my cousin that had the arm...i never really worked on his bike before....i was too busy with my 14. He raced half a year on that arm but when it came time to switch back tires we started looking at it and you could tell why he couldnt get the axle nut on all the way. There was a gap between the spacers and you could freely lift the wheel in and out. The arm was stretched too wide, and when you tightened the nut down you was compressing the arm...which led to it stripping 3 axle nuts.

Here is a place that seems real reasonable on pricing if you want to stretch your stk arm and brace it:

I like extensions, they come on\off easy, inexpesive. Ill admit whole arm does look better. But as far as problems with extensions i love mine and cant feel any difference than a stock 1. No wobbles or anything.
That's the way I feel about my 12 with extensions.
