no i just check them constantly. i think though nearly identical, the ones for the tt250 are stronger. but I am not 100% sure on that.

I don't really like the fact that the rear swingarm is basically just square tubing, but I don't see anything wrong with the adjusters. I guess they could be just a hair wider, because people tend to tighten the axle nut a little tight, pulling the outside wall of the swingarm in a little.

Here's a thread on what I did to my TT250: https://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=33914 (scroll down to posts #6 and #7) I believe the Hawk to be very similar.

The threaded adjusters themselves are still the stock ones that came on my bike. The stock adjusters from CSC are decent enough and, while they slide freely inside the box section tubing of the swingarm, they don't have excessive clearance that causes the box section of the swingarm to collapse significantly when properly tightening the rear axle.

Tons of bikes, including a lot of big name brands, use swing arms that are basically just tubing. Usually just a bit better quality, or thicker, or both.

The CSC Unit's aren't any stronger really, but like with most parts on the CSC bikes, the quality is definitely a bit better. Great factory replacement/minor upgrade option.
