Salsa Pivot Service Kit

Yes, this kit is specifically designed for the Salsa Bucksaw frame platform. It includes the necessary hardware to service the pivot assembly for all model years of the Bucksaw.

You should consider a service kit if you notice side-to-side play in your rear triangle, hear creaking noises coming from the suspension linkage, or feel increased friction when cycling the suspension through its travel.

This kit contains the essential pivot hardware, such as bolts and spacers, required to secure the linkage. Please check your specific service manual, as pivot bearings are typically sold separately from the hardware kit.

If you have experience with bicycle suspension maintenance and possess the correct torque wrenches and tools, this is a manageable DIY project. If you are uncomfortable working on suspension linkages, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure proper torque and alignment.

At a minimum, you will need a set of high-quality hex keys and a torque wrench to ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's exact specifications. Depending on the condition of your current hardware, you may also need a bearing press or removal tool if you are servicing the bearings simultaneously.
