Jekyll suspsension

[pdp888]

I need to tigthen my Jekyll's suspension. Does anyone know what the suspension pivits should be torqued to?

???Not much help on actual torque, but normal hand tightness is fine. I am on my second Jekyll bike right now, got the fist one in 2000. On each frame I have had to replace one pivot bushing. Every thing else has stayed tight since day one. The bushing I found to get "loose" is the one at the end of the Fox shock, The screw supplied by Cannondale is the culprit. Threads on the bolt eat into the bushing! This middle section of the bolt should be smooth and tight fitting into the soft aluminum pivot, instead it acts like a little file! I have been on a hunt for a new bolt with treads only on the end, but have had no luck. A quick fix that works pretty well, is to wrap middle section of bolt with white Plummer's tape. Torqueing on that bolt won't do much for tightness, the pivot rest between two tabs of aluminum frame. Its all about the size of the pivot hole. That's my two cents, hope it helps. ;D

had same issue on my rocky's rear shock.
fixed it by scouring the local true value HW store which has all those cardboar pull-out trays of individual bolts.
look for SS allen cap screws that have extended smooth shaft.
in my case I had to cuto-off and file smooth the threaded section as it was a leg damager if i didn't.
the result is a shock bolt that won't destroy the bushing.

why do bike companies do that? ???
