Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 Hey all I'm the one who had that issue with the linkage bolts, LightCarbon is sending me replacement seat stays under warranty with their fix. Wendy mentioned something about making the nuts captive so they can't move in the housing on the seat stays. Can't comment on how it'll work yet as I haven't received the replacements so far.

I did end up finishing the build anyway just to see what it looks like while I wait for those replacements. I went with spray.bike for the paint and did it myself.

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 I did say it'd be a sloow build.

Just had it wrapped.

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 Nice thanks, you're looks great! Hmm so I guess the hardware is correct but it is isn't a perfect design. I filed down the little smushed part and it seems to be working normally.

Here's a picture of it:



Gonna try to find some plastic washers or something to stick between so the bushing doesn't slide out again. Although I also don't want it to be rubbing against the frame all the time.

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 I have that problem - it does seem to become loose over time/miles. I have just been re-torqueing it. So far, I have not seen a problem doing that. They seem to be made of brass, which is nice I think. Probably less corrosion risk than aluminum. However, they are a bit soft, and I've definitely found shaving from the threading operation/machining inside the shaft. So, not the best quality control. Worth removing, cleaning, reapplying good loctite to, and reassembling to torque. I've also found the solidified blue loctite on all the fasteners is pretty terrible. So, re-torqueing everything will be standard practice for me going forward.

Added some nylon washers to hopefully prevent the mounting hardware getting messed up again. Ordered a set on Amazon, ended up using M12s, and had to file down the inner diameter to get them to fit.
