Hi all,

Has anyone noticed their chainstay pivot bolt (male side) coming loose? I've tried to use red low strength loctite on the thread but it still loosens. Will move to blue high/medium strength loctite but was wondering if anyone had better suggestions. The bolts are Alu so doesn't quite bite like steel. If it keeps happening with the blue I'll have to get some stainless bolts or find a better solution to it coming loose. Because it would ruin the frame if it bolt came fully loose.
Thanks! :)
It was loose on new frame, then fully rebuild all suspension with grease and blue locktite. Whole year everyting is ok. Check bearings first.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Using Fox DPS  with SV air can,  70+ kg  weight  and 150-160 psi with around 25% sag. Secret is the air chamber volumes on your shocks. Your both air chambers: positive and negative has too big air chambers for this frame, result: you need 300 psi for proper sag. At first I'll try to reduce volume of both chambers.

I agree. Im running 270-300psi otherwise too low BB @75kg with gear.  So the solution is to put a volume spacer? did anyone do this? I'll buy a spacer if it works well.
Solution is to put volume spacer in positive chamber AND add custom spacer to negative chamber or fill it with some viscous grease, something like a PM600.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts One summer of riding on local xc trails.
Also rounded bolt on lower pivot. Very soft steel and hex hole are not enogh deep. Shittiest quality of bolts that I've ever seen on the frames.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Sorry, I don't figured with pictures here. Thank you.
Yes, have contacted with carbonda, now waiting there answer. May be they again suggest to cut off link)) or pay them 500$ deposit.

For this moment i just can't only dissasemble lower main pivot, decided not to extract bolt( bearings in good condition, all greased before building bike year ago), repair frame and ride until season ends. Then  extract bolt, take it dimensions , and make more quality bolts at local cnc workshop. I will post info here, may be make 2-3 spare quality bolts.
