Please help cracked swingarm on EX7

2030 Views 13 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  fedor32
The swingarm on my 2007 Trek Fuel EX7 cracked recently and since i am not the original owner it is not covered under warranty. I have searched ebay and multiple forums for a replacement, but it looks like they are hard to come by. If anyone has a suggestion or knows where else i can find one please let me know.

Why not call Trek and ask if the part is available?
Yep. Go through your dealer or call Trek yourself. Probably your best and only bet.
I just got one for a customer who was in the same position as you. Any Trek dealer can do the same.

I called 2 Trek dealer in my area and they said Trek does not have any available.
Did they actually call Trek and ask? Its not something that can just be looked up on the computer.

They called Trek.
you dont have to get the exact the same model to be able to get a new swing arm. Get the dimensions and search any available swing arm with the same coupling and receivers then you should be good. Else bring it to a good welder. I think EX5 or EX6.5 is just about the same. But still do not limit yourself in just getting exactly the same item for the 7. All you need is dimension conpatibility and material build. Ask your friendly neighborhood bike mechanic/techs.."normally dealership dont have good ones"
i have one..used

used one year, it was from a 9.0 carbon with assym chainstays. Ask around to see if it will fit and it is yours for a small fee. I even have an rp23 shock if you want to upgrade. Pretty sure it will fit, but dont want to say if I am wrong.

More than likely they are the same and that swingarm was used until this year. Hard to believe that Trek has none.

How much are you looking to sell it for?
so...

you made me go through all the hassle of finding the parts, checking shipping, boxing it up, and now you dont answer the emails? If you need to wait for payday, or have another offer, my feelings are not hurt, its collecting dust. I made you an amazing offer. Why Flake with no email response? :nono: I could care less if you buy it, just let me know so I dont wonder whats up. 210 shipped, 9.0 rear end and lighly used rp23.
Jeez fedor32 what the he%#[email protected] are you waiting for! You'd have a hard time finding a better price for all of that! Don't let the man hang like that!
sorry i had an emergency that came up, i'm still interested if you have it still.
