i have play in teh pivot that is at the bottom ogf the seat tube behind the chainset. anyone know where i can get a replacement or a full set of replacements to do all the suspension bushings bearings.
also anyone know off hand what size allen key to take it out
thanks
I think it's an 8mm allen key. Not at home right now to check.
The complete bearing/bushing kit is £37* from Fat Tread Bikes in Aviemore.
The main pivot has 4 bearings in it (two pair either side with an internal spacer) and a washer at either end to separate the shell and the swingarm.
Straightforward job if you have a bearing puller/press. The swing link ones seem to go first which will manifest as play - very easy to replace so maybe do these first and see how it feels. HL Bushings seem to last longer.
