That must have been a hard hit/landing? Nothing else damaged on the shock or frame?
I'd contact Adam at Carbonda and try to get a replacement, he got me new lower pivot hardware anyway.
Would be nice to be able to source some of this stuff local though.
Uh, I think I ride this a bit harder than most intended use is what it comes down to. I treat it as a little trail bike rather than an xc weapon. As far as measuring it, and local hardware store sourcing, I have yet to find that male/female combo. Likely just need to look harder. Adam hasn't gotten back to me about it.
And nothing else damaged
I've gone through a rear wheel, smashed a derailleur, and pinched a few tires but the frame itself is still rock solid!!
