Title: Will a carbon swingarm fit a 757
Post by: sammydog on November 15, 2008, 09:52:06 pm
I’m about to get a 757 frame (with nr1, crosslink fork and a spare set of Judy100’s with Englund Air Cartridge) that will join the 955 and 855 in the Proflex stable.

My question is, will a carbon swingarm from a 957 (my friend has a spare one) drop onto this frame?

Not sure I want to make the 757 a hybrid frame by putting the carbon arm on, but the thought crossed my mind.

would think so,the frames sould be identical...unless the 957 was different to the 857 and 757

If you put a carbon swingarm on, it will become an 857 ;D Yes, should be a direct swap.

And it will become more confortable.
I did that on my Animal (it has the same frame as the 757) and the difference is noticeable. I dont feel the small vibrations anymore.
