Cygnet Pivot Arms Query? (30 posts / 2,922 views)

I've just been looking at the Cygnet Pivot Arms and the description on these is that they are suitable for replacing chains. I use a Matrix Multi Block quite a lot which a standard chain thread fits into no problem, but when you look at the opposite end of the Cygnet pivot arm, it looks like a female connection.

I guess my question is, are the Cygnet Pivot Arms supplied with a male thread to screw in to a Matrix Multi Bloc, in the same way that a chain thread would fit to a hockey stick?

Thanks chaps

So just got the 3 Cygnet Pivots, and there's definitely no seperate thread attached in there to allow you to fix one end of the pivot arm to a hockey stick. Theres a 2ba on one end to connect to a bobbin and the other end is a 2ba threaded female connection, what a nightmare.

It's something of a misdescreption for Cygnet to suggest these
as a "replacement" for chains, aleast a set of chains come with a 2ba threaded end that you can physically connect to something.

So now I have to locate a small 2Ba threaded (at both ends) bar to enable the female end pivot to connect to my hockey stick.

Appreciate any help, links, suggestions.

I had the same problem and just bought some 1/2" 2 BA grub screws off Ebay, far cheaper than buying the cygnet ones.

I did say a 2ba male and female. If you don't get the grub screws to convert then change the hockey stick, a lot dearer way of doing it though.

I might have missed something here but Cygnet bobbins heave a female thread and the hockey sticks have a male.... so the arms would surely work as supplied? 🤷‍♂️
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
