Chainstay pivot bolt- Kenevo

[DC101]

Hi

I'm in need of the chainstay pivot bolt that used to attach the chainstays to the frame. Anyone know if you can get this separate or does it come as a kit of all the rest triangle pivot bolts?

Thanks

I may be wrong here, but I seem to remember seeing in a video one day, where someone said that the chain stay pivot bolt is the exact same bolt as they use for holding in the batteries on 2018 Levos and 2018/2019 kenevos. Purposefully designed like that to save them a little money on manufacturing extra parts. You might want to look into that route and maybe someone here can confirm if I'm correct or not.

Hope that helps.

Visually that looks right, I'll get one ordered and see!

Thanks Adam ?

I hope it all works out, I've been racking my brain to try and remember what video it was in, it had someone talking to someone from Specialized in front of a bike and the Specialized guy mentioned that they'd re-used the existing bolt I think.

The only other thing I found was this but out of stock...

Bolts do look similar, but not sure I'd say they were identical though

Unfortunately they are not the same. Pivot kit ordered and I'll return the battery mount bolt. Thanks anyway tho!

Where did you order the pivot kit (bolt kit) for the Kenevo? I can't find it anywhere. I need one cause my main pivot snapped....

Freeborn. I actually sent the kit back to them today as specialized sent me the bolt on warranty. Wait a couple of days and give them a call. Dan

I'll try with the warranty then, hopefully it works. I can't find it on freeborn. Can you link it please?

You will have to phone them. They needed to order from specialized

Unfortunately you can’t buy the bolt separately from Specialized but they will do it under warranty.
I bought a complete bolt kit anyway so I’d have the others as spares as it didn’t cost too much. Berkshire Cycles sorted me out super quick as always.

I am fairly certain that mine was due to the bolt coming loose. I have since re-torqued each pivot bolt, and check before each ride.

I've snapped the pivot bolt as well. How did you manage to get the old one out? The bolt now just spins. Also, the threaded end is still screwed into place. Is there a special tool?

No special tool to remove the threaded part. Find something to grab it from the inside, I used a pair of scissors. For the other part you have to find something that fits and hammer it out.

Mine broke too. It’s waiting at the LBS for replacement to come from Specialized. Having to ride the acoustic bike and I’ll vouch for the research that says you can get at least as good a workout on a non-ebike as an ebike (at least ??) Holy smoke all the “little” hills have gotten steeper!
