There is zero, none, nada, zip, no aftermarket rearset that is as strong as factory ones. You cannot remove material and expect not to lose strength.

If you want stronger, make them out of 4130 chromoly for triple strength. Also triple weight. Maybe 6/4 titanium is middle ground with double strength and double weight. Your choice, but that will cost you at least $2k. Titanium costs has gone down tremendously after Cold War.

And durability is more than just material, it’s also in design. For example, using folding pegs makes it much more durable. And adding more metal and making it solid hunk would make it decently strong and durable like factory rearsets. Now you’re talking about designing and fabricating your own as no one makes such a thing.

Here’s a set that doesn’t look as hollowed out with more material than Woodcraft. Will be stronger, but still not as strong as factory rearsets.

Did your woodcraft ones break from normal wear, or from dropping your bike on them? Your comment makes it seem like you beat the **** out of them and they broke. I just want something adjustable
