What did you do to your EBike this week?

It "was" good luck. Or very bad luck.

Ah, I see what you mean It's only ali, so I drilled the outside end & screwed it out.

Clonking in the rear suspension led me to this sheared shock bolt. One thing you find out about owning a vaguely boutiquey bike is you can't just pop down to Halfords for spares.

You will probably find that bolt in the correct head size, shaft diameter but maybe not the correct length from many places. The bolts are easy to shorten. don't fuss about the Allen actual size or even whether it is Torx; they will all work.

I hope that you found that sheared bolt before it did too much damage to your frame. I also was lucky when it happened to me. When you fit the new one, let Loctite be your friend.
