I am getting my hopes up again

racesrc · « **Reply #121 on:** October 04, 2011, 08:25:51 am »

a 2 piece part unlike the other adapters that have been made, could be aluminum and be cnc machined to be key'd into each other sandwiching the drop-out using the egg shape to lock it in. while a "cooling duct" can also be machined in, making drilling and tapping the drop-out un-needed. it sounds stranger than it looks in my head. with a swingarm and my trustee dremmell though i could come up with a plastic prototype. funny too because a month ago there was someone on craigslist here selling a 4000 with the CF swingarm.

the CNC machine shop has an opening in their milling schedule thursday afternoon, that is the soonest a part could be worked in.

got your info any money. too bad we couldnt get them cheeper. but the way my brakes feel now, i would have paid double. i will let you know when it's shipped through the post office. i will test fit it on my bike before i package it to make sure. it wont be polished like mine but you can do that in about 10 minutes

spent most of my life in southern cal

Hmmmm - I was in Prescott looking at real estate last weekend. Going to be out there again Oct 14th, 15th and 16th.

Was looking over the Prescott Lakes area and also out in Williamson Valley - Staying with some friends out in WV Ranch off the W. Loop.
Looks like a lot of good hiking and biking trails.

actually i was thinking of a two piece design that im sure would work and look pretty cool for the CF swingarms egg shape dropout. it's only in my head, but if i had a bike i bet i could design one

There is a race on the 15th that I want to do. After that, I'll look into taking my swing arm off and mailing it to you.

hello, according to andy the cad designer at the cnc shop you are correct, it would be easy to take a variation of my part and adapt it to fit your drop-out as long as he has a swingarm to do it with just by canging the program that machines out the back side of the part, changing it to an egg shape for your swingarms. but you would have to drill m5 holes and tap them . he could locate the holes where there is the most material. it can be done. even after long downhill rides with brake rotor heating up this part stays cool, i dont think you guy's will find the same heat issues as you have in the past, this part has a lot of serface area and no anadizing like the k2 part.

Very Cool!

I have a ride to the race and the money, but I need new cleats and I'm not sure we are going to get them in time. Any way, I'll ship the swing arm off after that.

And I just now found some riding buddies. [sigh] Oh well, for the betterment of ProFlex's every where.

well, scratch that. a guy here locally has a 4000 with a CF swingarm for sale on Craigslist. he is willing to go with me to the cnc guy with his bike to take measurements. this may work without the need of your swingarm. I will find out. it depends on if the cnc guy needs only measurements or if he needs the ARM for a week. I will let you know

I don't want you to get your hopes up though, if its easier for the machinist to have a swingarm To keep for a week then that's what would need to be done. I don't know if this guy would be willing to leave his bike for an extended amount of time

No worries. Either way is fine. I promised my front fork shock set-up to someone else anyway thinking I wasn't going to have my swingarm anyway.

racesrc · « **Reply #134 on:** October 17, 2011, 06:42:22 pm »

Yes we are going to need the swingarm.
