    So im spannering my missus bike yesterday lubing stuff and general fettling and I notice a bit of play in the linkage on the rear end when you lift bike up by the seat.
    Soooo I decide to grease all the bearings and retighten it , when i give it some force the bolt snapped on the non driveside with a loud bang
    So I know im an idiot and yes I own two torque wrenches a small 2-24 and a big one for larger stuff but decided I know best.
    Where can I get a replacement? Its a Giant yukon FX and its the bolt that attaches the rear triangle to the front through the bottom shock eye

    Thanks in anticipation of your wisdom
    Matt

    Don’t recall where I got mine but Google about for pivot kits for giants. I did something similar on my giant Reign a while back. About 20 quid if I remember rightly.

    If you can get the bolt part out of the sleeve part you may be able to just pick up a similar replacement from your friendly local bolt emporium.
