Title: Source for rear brake and shifter pivots? Post by: d3vi@nt on May 09, 2017, 06:38:07 PM My bike has spent it's life in a dry clime, so the rusty rear brake pivot is both an enigma and an eye sore.
I'd like to replace it (and the gear shift pivot while I'm at it) with something that won't rust, but haven't come up with anything. Any good options out there? In related news, I'm told that Bellissimoto picked up TPO several weeks ago and plans to pick up production again. So this could be an option, but Ti seems like overkill for this application... Any feedback appreciated! Title: Re: Source for rear brake and shifter pivots? Post by: koko64 on May 10, 2017, 04:44:11 AM I have found my local dealer to have decent deals on hardware type parts. They often require a back order. TPO parts are very good ime and worth it for upgrading a "keeper". In some places TPO parts are not too expensive verses oem considering their excellent quality, eg rear axle nuts.

I figured if the OEM rusted in mostly dry conditions, I didn't want to replace with the same. Thought there might be some lower cost alternatives to Ti, as the pivots are pretty mundane parts. But... turns out Bellissimoto had both pivots in stock so I went ahead and ordered them. |
