Default What happened to JMC?

Anyone know what happened to JMC?

I'm not sure I can cope in a world without seeing a badly fitted JMC swingarm from time to time.

Any alternative engineering firms took their place?

Thanks,

Mark

I did see an curvey SV at Calne bike fiar with a JMC swingarm on, he didn't know it wasn't standard so I told him to do a bit of googling about them

The only alternative that I know of is Metmachex Engineering. However I have no experience of them, nor JMC for that matter.

I also did not know that something has happened to JMC. I can see their site isn't exactly there, but apart from that I've not heard anything?

I guess enough people found out the swingarms gave more bling bling than a performance upgrade and the sheep herd stopped buying them?
Was that a bit over the limit? I never ment to be mean, just honest.

But isnt that true of most frame/swingarm "upgrades"?
Since they stopped making bikes with hinges in the middle in the 1970s/80s most standard swingarms have been more than adequate.

It was a cornerstone of my biking youth. Lots of riders had big ole UJMs with bendy frames and a JMC swingarm.

I think it was a bit like getting a tattoo...
