Marin quadlink suspension bolts

[bertie bassett]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of replacement bolts that hold the quadlink bearings in place for a 2004 Marin? They have a design flaw where lateral movement of the swingarm leads to cracking of the Allen head from the bolt leading to suspension failure. I'm onto my third set now and they are getting hard to source. ATBsales no longer deal with Marin so I' m stuck. l might try and get something (better) made.

You could try the tech guys at paligap although when I recently enquired about 2003 decals they didn't seem to give a toss. If you have the old bolts and they are standard (no weird flanges or lips) then there should be alternatives out there. Good luck.
