Pointy swingarm.
Does it fit a curvy (K2) without problems?

Re: Pointy swingarm.
Why not?
Don't like the underslung rear caliper and am no good at welding to change it! |

Re: Pointy swingarm.
Pointy Swing arm legs are just plain rectangle section tubes - so palin and not as pretty as the curvy ones

Re: Pointy swingarm.
I'm sure I've seen a curvy which used the pointy caliper hanger... The mounting lugs are easy enough, you either do an above-and-below bracket or you drill the arm and fit a suitable tab. I need a new caliper hanger if I'm going to fit this other wheel, so I reckon I'll just get one made up to suit, I could try myself with the little milling machine that could, but I'll end up wasting loads of aluminium bits and probably machining off my own face, so maybe better not.

Re: Pointy swingarm.
I've always had longer term plans which would make it daft to do it now... Just that they don't ever get any closer

Re: Pointy swingarm.
Think i might have to get my spare swingarm, wheel and caliper out to see if there is anything that's workable with the standard stuff although would it be a better option to use a caliper from a pointy?
