Evo vs Oz
« on: February 26, 2008, 08:54:26 pm »
Anyone who has an Evo and Oz have a preference or performance comparison.  I would like to add an Evo (aluminum swing arm) to the stable.

Probably not the answer but, I have the Oz, all carbon, and an Evo, all alum. The Oz with Noleen Nr1 was a tad flexy, the Evo with same shock has no flex.

I would believe the alum swingarm is heavier, but less flex. I think Simon found that out.

I know that the alum x57 swingarm is slightly heavier than the carbon version, but I have never weighed the Evo types side by side.

Just for the record, on the X57 swingarm:





Rather cheap 180g (how much would we have to spend on a seatpost and a bar to save this weight?) and more confortable, I might say.

Holy moly, look at those holes at the bottom of the alum swingarm.

Recently got one of the KCNC Ti pro lite

http://www.kcnc.com.tw/Web/NewWeb/rdpost.htm

142g and off a uk ebay shop for £45

My Thomson was 228g. Seemed like a good price for a really low weight.
