The top bolt on my Single pivot FS bike snapped on Saturday this seems like a odd thing to happen as they are pretty thick steel do they sometimes go or should I be worried and looking for a cause? Wasn't on anything big just a bit of DH singletrack and the shock didn't even bottom out.

Happened to me on my Marin years ago, ATB said "it shouldn't happen!" but it did. They gave me a new bolt.

Happened to me too. The bottom shock pin on my Specialized FSR snapped, had to shell out for a new bolt kit.

in case you have trouble finding the right shape one, [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=43469 ]CRC/nukeproof[/url] seem to sell a few sizes for not silly money.
