Hi,
I am needing to replace my Roto Flex on both sides, I have been told one could remove the rotoflex and change it to a 'swing spring'. How does this affect the handling, is it an easy job to do?
Thanks William

I'm not sure why you'd want to do this, but anyway you'll need quite a few bits: new spring, new vertical links, hubs and drive shafts, new radius arms and mountings.

"Swing-spring" is better than the original transverse leaf arrangment but still has plenty of scope for surprises mid-bend and is nowhere near as good as the roto-flex setup.
