I can once again ride my evo,
if it wasn't for site, I would have lost faith on my bike, a long time ago. Thanks to this support group I still feel as if I had just bought it.
Just hope if we all get a different bike, it will be the same......this site is a super bonus to all k2/evo owners.

I felt insecure when I did not know how the derailleur cable ran inside the swingarm. A couple of regulars here in the site clarified my thoughts and I decided to go for it. With a rubber hammer and screwdriver I forced the dropout out of the c.f. swingarm. The derailleur cable runs through a plastic guide that docks onto an orifice in the dropout, very simple.    After the dropout was out, a little sanding, cleaning, applying the epoxy glue and next day you are ready to go. ::)
