Seven Cycles Duo: Anybody Else Shearing Sus Bolts?
I love riding this thing, but I'm getting irritated with the
suspension bolts shearing. PO'd, even. I was about to go for a ride today, bike seemed a little loose. Checked it over. Yup, I've sheared my *fourth* suspension bolt. After the third one, I spent some time on the phone with Seven Cycles and some more time with Maverick (the guys they license the suspension system from). The reaction seemed tb "Gee, you broke a suspension bolt? Never heard of *that* before." But this is the fourth time around and, to me at least, these bolts are what I'd call "stupid light". Dunno what the material is, but it seems way fragile for something that integral to the operation of the bike. Right now I'd pay quite a few bucks for some sus bolts made out of, say 6061.... or even steel. Torqued exactly to spec. Is anybody else experiencing sus bolt breakage? I can't believe I'm the only one. -- PeteCresswell |
