Thanks, but can you explain which metal spacers you mean? Good idea about the 10mm to help with line-up. I guess it's just a real bugger getting them lined up :/

Perplexed: I tried to remove the bolt connecting the seat stay to the shock link on my Occam 2022. It loosened but would not come out, even with pliers (trying to pull it out). The same for the other side. Making things worse, when I try to tighten them again, they won't tighten! The bolts just...

Thanks for the suggestion. Good to know possible causes. I just bought the bike used, in good condition, rode it just once before. It is a possibility that the bolt had become loose, but I did bottom out when it snapped, most likely that is the cause. Will need to adjust the travel.

Thanks. I do have an extraction tool actually. I can only see as much is shown in the photo, from the one side. I'll give that a go [emoji106]

This has just happened to my Orbea Occam. The bolt just snapped on landing a 1m drop. The problem now is getting the remaining (theaded end) out (it does not go all the way through but bolts into the top tube). Any suggestions on how to do that? Thanks
