sweet deal-e-o !
LMFAO ! No there is no such thing. youre all set.rockymt21 said:
although, seriously speaking, you will have the be sure the wheel is dished for 150mm spacing. hopefully there is enough spoke to dish it, otherwise, you'll have to re-lace it. no big deal though.
jh
thro it on your RL and see if the rim is in the center of the swing arm. j/k
if the frame it came off of has 135mm drop outs, it needs to be re-dished.

Ok, I am gonna have to have it redished most likely, it came off an M1. So by redishing it, what does it do to the wheel? Sorry for the all the questions brooklyns are like getting into a college, you gotta study that **** before your excepted...kind of...

I broke my Racelink 
First ride in an age, and i manage to break it... It's just not my day..
Snapped the bolt holding the left link arm to the front triangle.. I've now got half a bolt stuck in the threads in my frame, and i've lost all the little bits that go in the end to make it pivot smoothly
On the plus side, the bike functioned perfectly with one link arm, and i didnt notice untill i was half way down the road to the van. Odd.
Not happy.

OK, - cool down !!! I am NOT critizising the bike at all ! I was just surprised !! That is all !!! Why do you always think people are critisising the BMWs ???
I am NOT !!
sorry to hear that. you'll have to get the internals of the pivot from BMW most likely. are the needle bearing still inside the link or is it totally empty? There are like 7 pieces inside that single end you lost. ( 1 bolt, 2 o-rings, 2 end caps, 1 sleeve and 1 needle bearing assembly)AR_ said:I broke my Racelink
the real sucky part is the bolt that broke off on the frame. just consult with BMW and get their suggestion of how best to get it out. there are a couple ways that it is done. i would personally take the fork off, rear wheel off, brake arm ETC off the frame and have a quality machine shop perform whatever BMW suggests. if there is enough bolt showing, which it probably isnt, you can weld a rod to the bolt and then weld a handle to that rod and just turn it out. basicall welding a T handle to the bolt. otherwise they have taps that are reverse thread and the bolt can easily be backed out.
It's all just metal and can be dealt with. Be glad you do not have an aluminum frame.

Aye, i've emailed Doc seeking the best advice, didnt think of the welding a t handle on to get it out, but the frames fully stripped so they have a blank easy canvas to work with..
I'm pretty sure (Looking at my other link arm for referance), i've just lost one end cap (the inside one closest to the frame) and an o-ring, all the needle bearing assembly and stuff is still in there, so it's minimal parts aswell..
No bolt showing unfortunately, but once i've got a verdict from doc it's go to a designated place, and i'l let ya'll know what happens.

I've personally ride my mini link on dh runs at plattekill and mtn creek this year. I loved it but loved it even more when i rode my friend's BIG LINK AT MTN CREEK. My setup for Dhruns consist of an 04 super T w/ dual cartrdiges and RUNNING IT SS my friends.
Use a drill and a eazy-out and the bolt will come right out You have to lock tight those bolts. It happens because the bolt is loose.
Not questioning your knowledge or owt, but are you sure? Can they come loose without it being noticed on the outside, i mean like internally or something? Cos' i know most of the bolts on my bike are close to un-moveable, the supposed "bike mechanic" who owned it before me certainly liked tighetning bolts up with something very long! Thankgod there so deep, normal shallow ones would have just rounded trying to get them out...sikocycles said:
Thanks for the tip on the eazy-out, i'l look into it.
here's some pics of my mini but i'm currently running a flick b/c the manitou I recently sold.

i got rid of it b/c i think it's a high mainteance fork, not for me. Also i got a really good deal on the flick but thinking of getting the 66 7" version for the mini
quck question everyone, ive had my racelink a good while now, and ive allways wondered why my swingarm and my frame are different numbers, my frame being #34 and the swingarm #31? ime ususure if this was just a mistake, its meant to be like that, or its been replaced at some point in its life. i know adys is the same both swingarm and frame... any help appreciated
and also when rebuilding last night, i was putting my right crank (non-driveside) back on the axle, remembering that it used to have a load of spacers on, i just plonked them on and thought no more, untill ady pointed out that the axle stud was miles away from the frame, instead of like the other one being as close as possible. so i took it all off and tried it without spacers, and discovered it wouldnt tighten, due to the axle being too damn long, now ime surprised at this, because i was under the impression that there were no axles wider than racelinks, but mine appears to be even wider... any idea where i can get a "normal" or shorter axle from, i will go measure it when i take my cranks off next time

Cool bike...but the angle on your seat seems a little tough to sit on. I like the all-black setup !
Still in Japan ?
yeah i bought it used and WAAY back earlier this year off a guy in the states
he seemed a bit of a beater on bikes so i figured maybe its a replacement swingarm
