Title: Speaking of Carbons/5500s
Post by: Scott on January 17, 2004, 03:42:58 am

Will the carbon arm from an alloy 5000/4000 mount directly to the Oz/5500?  I have a 5000 and would keep it for just this swap, otherwise I should sell.

i'd call the k2 cs # to be sure, however i'd bet a lot of money  ;D that it's the same swingarm and you can swap just fine.  i doubt k2 would have had a different swingarm made for the different bikes that took either carbon or al.

that doesn't seem al all cost effiecient.
