Out yesterday and noticed a creak somewhere on the bike. Took a corner and the bike felt a bit bendy so went today to change the main pivot bearings which seem to go every 6-9 months – however, they were fine.

Bit more of a look round and found the culprit – one of the pivot arm bolts has snapped. Pulled it out and am now in the same boat as this bloke – LINK

No worries methinks. I’ll order one and pop it in. Except Cube dont sell them individually, you have to buy the kit – six small bearings and a few bolts and spacers.

£79.99 is the cheapest I’ve found – to replace one broken bolt.

Bugger.

What kind of bolt is it? Can you not try and see if a hardware supplier stocks the same bolt.

Tap, let me have a look around for you tomorrow…..

+1 for a hardware store or find an engineering work shop. Even a toolmaker may help.

wiggles – like the one in the link

banks – few threads suggest they are made for Cube but was going to trawl round some hardware stores
