Swingarm, free to a good home

Post by freeridenick »

Polished with good bearings but has a tap stuck in one of the chain adjuster threads. Maybe someone can sort out the tap and get it back to usable with original chain adjusters or just bodge it.

Free if collected or posted for bear tokens, probably about a tenner.

Have you a pic of it nick? is it the arm that is the issue or the adjuster itself?
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

I'll see if I can take one tonight but it might not show much.

It's the arm that's the issue Rob but was bodged when I bought the bike. I only realised when I took the back end apart to clean it. It looks to me as though the right hand adjuster thread has stripped at some point and in the course of repairing it a previous owner has snapped a tap off in the hole.

It could be bodged again and used or an engineering shop might be able to remove the tap and repair the thread. I've got another spare swing arm so I can't be bothered to find out. It was only a recent request from Popkat, I think, for the bit the caliper slides on that made me think someone might have a use for it.
