Frame Slider long bolt

[alonzo84]

Hello I'd like to buy the Frame Slider long bolt, the one that goes all the way across from Frame slider A to Frame Slider B.
Mine got bent last time I topled... I Was pushing my bike up a hill to "downhill" start it but accidentally dropped it Saw that it was rusty. I live near a beach Thanks much! Or advice on where to get it it also welcome.

I would contact the manufacturer of your sliders, they should be able to sell you one or at least give you the proper size dimentions.

If the bent one is in hand, doing a take off should be pretty easy such that a fastener shop can be visited for supply.

just drill n tap the frame and use two individual grade 8 bolts to hold the sliders on... thats what i did.... never liked the whole 1 piece of all thread through the frame... always figured it would bend WAY to easy.

No, do not use SAE Grade 8s.
Use 5s.
8s are more brittle than 5s.
If in the metric realm, use 8.8s
The use of overgraded bolts can sometimes hinder, it depends on the application.
