Will a carbon swingarm fit a 757
« 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.

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.
