He wouldn't happen to have the Easton Carbon swingarm found on an OZ or EVO 4.0 would he?

Would be nice to have an extra.

M8 if these are the ones to fit the 4500 or 5500 let me know I'll be up for it.

The one's in the pictures are for 97worldcup designed frames (shock activated via a strut) won't fit 4500/5500 or Oz

Simon was right, after some research, this swing arm is for 957 and 857 frame..

Here the link

Would that actually retrofit on one of my 856's?
It would look superfly on my future belt drive single speed...

Are those disc brake bosses on the dropout?

Hmmm...

Will - nope, they're just a couple of holes in the drop-out. Great way to mate a rear disc adaptor in conjunction with the skewer. [smiley=nod.gif] Working on one right now.

ichanz66 - where are these located?

I know there's a few of us here that might be interested. Also, does he have any of the derailleur hangers?

? It appears in the pics they're not on the arms. What about the brake posts? Looks like they aren't installed either?

Let me know. Thanks!

simon,

are you sure these swingarms wouldn't fit an Oz? I find it hard to believe that they would have made different carbon swingarms given the cost of making molds.

but, I am sure you know way better than I do. Too bad these don't fit Oz's, I would have bought one or two.

The "cross-bridge" is in a different location for the two different frame types. The non-strut bikes have this piece moved forward to mount the shock. The strut-equipped bikes have it moved rearward to clear the seattube. Sadly. [smiley=worry.gif] There might be a difference in the width of the pivot as well, but i'm not 100% on this.

Hey, at least they kept the pivot-to-axle length the same.

I think he was referring to the holes where the strut attaches/pivots. Here's a pic from Carbon Angus' gallery:

Oooooh. I thought maybe he was talking about the two 5mm-threaded holes on the left side drop-out.

HEY! Where'd the gears go?

I picked up 5 of this today.. here's a better picture. I'm not sure about the the derailleur hanger, you might have to use your old one...

I'll send these out for $40 plus shipping..

Will, No they won't fit an 856

the main pivot point on an 856 is behind the B/B
the main pivot point on an 857/957 is forward of the B/B completly different design,
this is one of the main reasons I chose the 856 for my faux bar project,the short s/arm is less likely to suffer with lateral flex.
