Compatibility of Pin Block components between G70 arm and WK Vest connectors
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The G70 arm connector and WK Vest connector are compatible without requiring a Pin Block swap
- The G70 arm features a kickback mechanism on the connector that can be reversed to optimize the arm angle for back mount positioning
- Swapping the male connection component between G70 and WK Vest connectors is technically possible but not necessary for functional use
Depends on
- The advice about kickback reversal applies to standard riders but not to goofy-foot riders where the setup remains unchanged
- No specific technical details provided about what makes the connectors compatible despite different designs
