Default Fibre Lyte?

Hi, just wondering what the quality of their carbon is like. I have a B44 with a cracked front shock tower and have noticed a spare is around £13. Fibre Lyte have them listed but for around this price you can have a much thicker part (5mm)

any thoughts?
Thanks, john

I should have the Atomized B44 towers in stock in 1-2 weeks time if you can hang on

As Lee said above their quality is excellent, would never critisize them about anything. Plus they are really local for me, only about 15mile round trip, so sometimes go there on me bike, just to get me out the house for a bit.

Having recently returned to racing and not running an atomic carbon car, I would like to think I am pretty impartial. If you can wait a couple of weeks, order an atomic carbon shock mount. All their parts look 1st class and a far better quality than any standard part. They really look the dogs danglies

Fibrelyte are the best out there, a lot of worldwide buggy companies have been using them for a long time, and that says a lot about the skill of these guys. They are very customer orientated as well so I cant fault them at all.

Dave I think that fibrelyte and Atomic carbon work closely together so the designs are pretty much the same in regard to the finer carbon mesh which makes it stonger.

Besides you know how good the quality is especially the way I treated my last car when we were competitive, I never broke a fibrelyte item in all the years I used them, especially when you and I had a head on a full pelt when you had that YZ10 - I think you were the worse off.

I currenty use the fibre-lyte 4mm front and back. I would say they are excellent quality and fit perfect.
Not had any probs with them at all.
