Answered Dengfu E10 linkage questions

[Dengfu]

On one side of my swing arm I can see a pivot link 'bolt' as shown on the last image.

Does anyone know what torque this should be tightened to please?

On the other side I just see screw threads as shown on the first two images. Is this normal or is the bike missing a bolt or some other part that should be screwed in?

@thaeber @Sunburntwily @Kiwin

as you've built up your e10 bikes, could you please have a look at the images above and let me know if this is supposed to be a straight through bolt only from one side - or if there is supposed to be something also on the other side?

I sent the same images to Melody and she replied by sending me the image below in case I need to order another part - however I have no idea if the bike has one missing let alone which one it would be!

When I zoom in on Kiwin's image: https://www.emtbforums.com/community/media/20210929_192808-jpg.1858/full
it looks like there is just an open threaded hole there so I'm hoping that is what I'm seeing as that is what I have.

If that is correct and should be like that, I'd be interested to hear what users have been torqueing the bolt in at from the other side.

I didn’t remove that main pivot bolt, but it is screwed in from the left (none drive) side only. Nothing missing. Looking at the thread and diameter, I would suggest 10-12 Nm.

Thanks thaeber!

Perhaps @Ben Rides could provide the specifications to confirm.
This would help enable support for the product both by end users and local bike shops.

No idea what the torque is.

谢谢泰伯！

@Ben Rides 可以提供规格来可能确认。
这将成为最终用户和当地自行车商店对产品的支持。

Gr8!

Thanks all. Glad I discovered those visible threads and hopefully no damage done as not sure how far in the bolt was.

This is straight through bolt (only from one side). I've not unmounted the pivot yet. I'll probably do when I paint (if I do it some day).
