Rear Pivots

The pivot assembly is a simple mechanism that allows the rear triangle to move up and down in combination with a rear suspension. Size, shape, and compounds will vary between models; however, operating principles are the same. A shaft will pivot inside of two bushings secured in place with bolts. Pivots should be kept clean and free from grime and should be disassembled and re- greased at least once every riding season. Please note the drive side crank arm must be removed from the spin- dle before attempting to work on the pivot. Some models have two, small (2.5mm) Allen bolts on the underside of the bottom bracket shell. These must be removed before attempting to disassemble the pivot. After disassembling and cleaning, the shaft of the pivot assembly should be lightly coated with lithium-based grease, as well as the bushings and the threads of the attaching hardware. Please remember: Never use WD-40™ to grease com- ponents. It is a degreaser that will not provide required lubrication and has a tendency to attract dust.
