droo Posted July 7, 2020 Share It sucks that the guys at BOLT don't make mtb bolt kits. For the mx bikes you can buy a spare bolt kit or track pack with all the spare odd sized bolts for your bike. Reckon they would make a killing with this. Start collecting data on all the various sizes of pivot bolts and hardware and you'll find out pretty quickly why not...

ScoobykingZA Posted January 14, 2021 Share Sorry for resurrecting an old thread...but this just happened to me. Quoted R1,900 for the pivot kit. Reasonable or not? Edited January 14, 2021 by ScoobykingZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobykingZA Posted January 15, 2021 Share It's in the ballpark. Pre-2016 kits are more expensive than the more recent ones.Thanks for the reply. Bike is a 2018 RC. Suppose I will have to bite the bullet and replace one broken pivot bolt.....with a few spare ones included. Eish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted March 28, 2022 Share Know someone that has a "almost" complete set of pivots for a previous gen Scott Spark, DM me your number I will pass it on, he wanted R500. I have a Scott Genius and I was hoping they are the same but sadly they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted March 28, 2022 Share I went to the start of the Thread, Same happened to me, Scott Genius, rear Pivot bushes, printed as 15NM, I did not even get to 10 and it snapped, I got and engineering company to make me custom bushes(benefits of being in the field), in with some thread lock and it better than before. The thread inside the OEM is also a special, it measures 11.7 OD with a fine pitch maybe 0.8mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can pass on your custom solution details. Reckon that guy could do good business considering you have to buy a complete set IF you can find any. I ended up using 1 bush out of the whole set, rest locked in the safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted March 30, 2022 Share Here are some pictures of my solution, assembled with some thread lock, I see the Genius Bushes are quite a bite beefier than the Spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Smit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Hi all, Is there ANYONE that can assist with a couple (2 bushes/screws) for a Scott Spark, 2013, RC 900?? I need the one for the Chain and seat stay (lower one) and the upper on one the seat stay between seat stay and the pivot link. I would really appreciate some assistance. Thank you in advance.

claudiofraposo Posted January 13, 2023 Share Hi Gents, Not sure how but I just "lost"a bottom pivot bolt on my 2022 Scott Spark. No one is sure how this happened, even Scott. I am hoping to come across someone here that can possibly assist with sourcing this bolt or kit. Appreciate the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
