For those of you who have one of these pods and want more space between the rods, don't buy the fox xl extending buzz bars. Get the advanta extending black ali bars and save yourselves 30 quid. The fox bars are £58. The advanta 15&12 extenderscost £28 and do not look out of place at all.

The fox bars are very poorly made. They snap for fun... I had some, sent the lot back and was told it had become a common complaint.

Hopefully the AD version are more durable

Black Label stuff has been breaking for the last 15. Gave up on it after a year because the camlocks were poor. Not tried the next versions, but I suspect they ain't exactly amazing.

Fox unfortunately made their camlock items worse despite the 90's/2000's stuff being good as gold.

Money saving tip.. don't buy in first place. I've broken so many of the quick release now, the plastic is junk. The clamps on the extenders are junk to the point you can slide them without opening

Look, fellas..... I'm just trying to save anyone who has one a bit of money, should they want to widen the spread of their pod. I've not been impressed with trakker or nash over the years, but my fox stuff has been fine. Suggest you start your own thread if you want to slag stuff off.....
Are you sure?
