Hi Terry,

I didn't know that the pivots were the same for the X57. As for the material, I think we had discussed 6061 instead of 7075. Not sure where I got that in my head. The material specs for 7075 make it seem about twice as strong as 6061, so I'll get back to the machinist.

How would you propose I verify that the material is truly 7075 after I receive the parts? I have no idea how to do that :-/

Thanks!

I would supply the material to him. McMaster.com has 7075 rod for pretty cheap, and they can give you material certs too. You could have the material drop shipped to his facility after you pay with credit card. Or you could ask him to supply material and forward a copy of the material cert.

Easiest way to test the material when you get it is use a file on sharp edge of both 6061-T6, and the 7075. The 7075 will glide easier over the stroke. The 6061 will embed and not want to glide. Harder grades do this. Personally if I am still in doubt, I do a hardness test with a portable hardness tester. McMaster has these too. The 7075 will register a higher rockwell reading than the 6061. The other way, like on curved edges, you can use a spring loaded center punch like General tools produces. The center punch will leave a deeper impression on 6061 than 7075, and the spring action is pretty consistent.

Well, I am not sure you can import sketches into the CAD software that they require.

But maybe you just draw something simple and then ask to forward an attachment.

Terry

I'm not sure how to navigate this forum, or how to properly add a new post. I have a 755 that I've been upgrading, I found the old rear shock, and decided to list in on ebay. Here's the link in case anyone is interested.

Hello all,

So I have the revised pricing back from the machinist. So for both the spindle and the 4 2mm spacers all done in 7075 alloy he quoted a per set price of $54. There are quantity discounts available, but I don't have the available funds to front a big upfront purchase. I'll snap some pictures when the goods come in. Drop me a PM if you're interested in the guy's contact information.

- Doug :-)

Strewth. Whilst doing a search on K2 I saw these. I certainly didnt get any with my K2 4000! Maybe things are different here in the UK.

I have a K2 proflex 4000 and have had it since new at a time when it waqs a £2000 bike. I havn't ridden much in the last 10 years and so as a result it is in superb nik for year. All standard spec, only I changed the tyres to panaracer fire xc with red walls. There is the odd scratch on frame but nothing dramatic and largely still looks new. Carbon rear swing arm is mint as are shocks. Is there any interest with this bike as I am looking to sell in order to purchase a hardtail.

Proflex 2000 (aka 757) for $150 buy it now... seems like a great price to me. Size Medium.

Hey Guys,
I stumbled upon a website that may have some gems!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.rockypointcycles.com/docs/specials.html

Once on the "Specials" page, scroll about half way down the page and you will see a picture box that is labeled 'Used swingarms for your trusty old steed'.

There is an old Proflex swingarm pictured along with a set of yellow elastomers. The description also states,

"We also have new bumpers for Pro-Flex that still move. Some Girvin fork parts and a bunch of small parts for Pro Flex’s'

Bumpers that move, intersting. hahahaha

Good Luck
