Owned the bike pretty much since new (although the guy i bought it off only had a week before his wife made him sell it from new, so warranty is non-transferable)but lately there appears to be a bit of play in one of the pivot bolts on the rear triangle. Tried to tighten it up but the bolts won’t go anymore and I dont want to overtighten!

Any ideas? Thanks

bushes gone bud – you’ve done well to get this far without them wearing out

Cheers – probably not been used as much as it should 🙁

This most likely. Lapierre recommend changing them every six months. You’ll be lucky if they haven’t eaten into the frame.

i had a couple and the frames refused to last more than 6 months so never quite wore through the bushes!! 🙁
