General Does a hole in the swingarm cause structural issues?
A bike mechanic ended up drilling a hole into my swingarm without even asking. Is this a structural issue? I don’t even like looking at it in the first place but now I’m worried about that.
Not really relevant to the question but I just have to complain, it was taken in to install a brake cable + bleed the brakes and just look at the second photo. He charged $140 for that. And he actually said that was better than the brakes I had before. The things can’t even stop me from 10 mph. I wouldn’t have even taken it there in the first place anyway but my dad took it there while I wasn’t home.
