Very kind offer @Weeksy (y) I've still got a spare Vitus bolt to try but @jab0rnal maybe interested.

Thanks for the info rusty 👍 I've just measured my spare bolt and it is a 1mm pitch thread. From a search online and confirming with other trunnion bolts it seems 1mm pitch is the standard for both Fox and Rock shox from what I can see. I've still no luck finding an OEM cube trunnion bolt in...

Thinking about it, thread pitch is probably dependant on what make and model shock you have. Rock shox may well use a 1.25 pitch. I have a fox float x which I believe has a 1mm pitch but I'll double check.

I'll double check but I think it is a 1mm pitch not 1.25. Head diameter could be an issue on the cube as the bolt sits into a recessed hole. Bolt length will depend on the unthreaded portion of the bolt, the threaded part should be similar across all bolts

As a side note, does anyone know why these bolts are made from alloy rather than steel? I'm guessing because the shock cap is made from aluminium and this avoids dissimilar metal corrosion. Would a steel bolt with anti seize like rusty suggests be a suitable alternative?

Yeah as rusty says, adding heat will greatly increase your chances of getting the bolts out without damaging anything else. Just be careful how you apply the heat 👍 The pin spanner idea came from my motorbike days where seized trunnion bolts are common place. It works extremely well with the...

Such a shame, the Sonni looked like an interesting bike, one I'd have definitely considered for my next. What happens to pole owners now should they need a frame repair? I guess try to find an independent workshop willing to take on the work?

It seems like a good device, like I say it does have some draw backs compared to a chip. It's mechanical so will eventually wear out, though it's supposedly good for thousands of miles, it's limited to 1.5x of your top assisted speed, it can't be tuned or adjusted and maybe the biggest draw back...

It's a planetary gear system that fixes to the wheel hub/axel, it replaces the stock fixed speed magnet and uses it's own magnet inside the rotating gears. It reduces the magnet rotation by 1.5 tricking the system into thinking it's going slower than it actually is thus increasing assisted...

It's called a "Speedi" it's a mechanical de-restricter. Hopefully undetectable by Bosch smart system and easy to remove without trace if needed. It will only increase assistance up to around 25mph. It has limitations compared to a chip but I still have a year of warranty on the bike so it's a...

See how I get on with this 🤟

Thanks for all the help guys, appreciate it 👍 I'll check them out tonight.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys 👍 While I'm not adverse to camping I know my friend will protest, unless it's glamping 😆 Thinking now, it maybe better to stay a little further away as it will break up the trip home which is going to be nearing 6 hours 😞

Thinking of doing a bike park Wales trip next month and as we are over that way travelling up to dyfi as well. We will need to stay the night, can anyone recommend accommodation near to dyfi?

Hello and welcome along, a few from West Sussex on here now 👍
