Got a 2017 Specialized FSR Stumpjumper of my lads and we've lost a pivot bolt.
It's the middle bolt of the 3 on the funny arm.
20.5mm in length.
M12 from what i can see here.

But need to order one and need something to go one really.
We've got a specialized concept store not far so i can shoot there tomorrow, but would like the info too.
You'll be lucky to get anything other than a full bolt kit from Spesh unless the shop has something kicking around in a random bolt box.
That's a bit crap ain't it... This one from a Trek Rocker seems to be £9.99
Right lenght, (0.5mm difference) and right diameter and pitch
try cyclestore.co.uk

It's just the way they do it. Trek sell individual suspension bolts / bearings, Spesh sell full bearing & bolt kits.
Try specialized UK, bet there are a tonne of warranty frames they have scavenged parts from.

Apart from trying the concept store tomorrow, any idea how i'd go about that mate please ?
Even I don't have a spare one of those but could pinch one from another bike if needed. It must have been loose for quite some time for it to fall out.
As above try Specialized UK and plead that its for your son, they have always been helpful with us. Not sure if they are answering the phone yet as they were working remotly but are answering emails but it may take a while

It looks like pedal on in Tadley have the Trek bolt too, so will shoot over tomorrow as I've got the week off
Trek bolt is slightly different but does the job perfectly. Pedalon had it in stock. Went there after going to Specialized Concept store.
70km ride for a bloody bolt.. it was a bit warm !!!!
Specialized said "we can only do as part of full kit, £45"
Which IMO is pathetic.
Bit of a confession here... I'm not the first and won't be the last, but i am a bit bloody irritated
Fitting the bolt i thought "that's a bit bloody tough", but it seemed OK, so i put it down to the Locktite on it making it a bit stiff....But then i thought "Lets check that again" and looking at it, the Trek bolt is a 1.25 pitch and the Specialized is a 1.00.
So i've fitted it and in the process screwed up the 'yoke' as Specialized call it. As it's fitted and tight the boy can use the bike and he can't actually make it any worse using it, so that's it.... New 'yoke' being ordered along with a bolt kit, which at £70 for the yoke and £45 for the bolt kit, seems a bit bloody expensive... but there's not a lot i can do either way now... Arses !

New suspension linkage finally along with new bolt kit.
Slightly disappointed in Specialized with how long it took to get the bolts of what isn't exactly an old bike. 9 weeks, if i hadn't manage to fudge things, he'd have been without a bike for 9 weeks...

If you *ever* think this, back the bolt off and start again. A bolt shouldn't be tough to fit.
Had to do this myself recently for a 2019 stumpjumper, main pivot bolt had come loose and i wasnt keen on using it again.
49euro for a new kit. Sourcing spares shouldnt as difficult as it is.
Lesson learnt though, ill be pulling the bolts out twice a year now i think for a nosey. They should be greased on the shaft and loctited on the threads too. That stuff that comes on them from spesh doesnt look great. I'll be cleaning it off and using fresh 243.

I guess you've not noticed that there is a bit of disruption in the world at the moment 😉
