Hi folks, was hoping to get a little help with this. I have an 09 Spicy which has developed play in the back wheel. It turns out this is due to the pivots at the hub, they have bushings rather than bearings.

I'm having serious trouble tracking down replacements, I've scoured Google but can't find any evidence the part exists, (not knowing what i's called doesn't help). I couldn't find it on We Love Lapierre but so them. They helpfully got back to me to say the kit costs around £12, when they've got it in. They ordered them from Lapierre in October. It's a bit annoying that I can't get a replacement for a component which is clearly sacrificial.

So does anyone know of anywhere else I can go for these? We love Lapierre can't be the sole UK distributor surely.

They're a routine service item, so any Lapierre dealer should have a couple in stock, we've normally got a few sets, but Sod's law dictates that when I check later, they'll have been sold and not replaced.

Dave, i'll try and get some for you.
I assume you mean the articulation spacers?

I bought some a couple of weeks ago from cyclesuperstore.ie (I'm in Ireland, mind)

Give Hotlines a ring, they should be able to help you out.

You need the rear end articulation spacers, and the four top hat bushings.
