|   Can I swap 00-01 lowers onto my '99 SX-R?? | BamBam
Oct 19, 2001 6:48 AM | | I have a '99 SX-R with the 'old-style' MN disc mounts. Can I swap the lowers off, say a '00 SX-LE, onto this fork? I notice the 2000 and later SX's have the adjusting knobs on the opposite leg of the 99 models. Any issues here?
Basically, I went to mount my Avid discs and found out that I need the newer mount. Let me know your experience-
Thanx

What you need to do is order the adapter from Formula USA, www.formulausa.com as well as the larger 175mm rotor from Avid. Had the same problem on an old x-vert. |
