I have an '05 Trek Session77

Recently, while trying to swap springs on my Manitou Swinger 4-way I discovered that the top mounting bolt was seized in the frame reducer/sleeve. long story short I had to pull apart all of my linkage to get the things out.

So, I figured that I would replace the pivot bushings as well as the mounting hardware. I got the mounting hardware (boly, nut, washer) and bushing part numbers from Trek, but apparently the frame reducer/sleeve and DU shock eye bushing are Manitou parts.

Well I was hoping to order the parts today at my local Trek shop but I'm not that confident that the guys have very much full susp experience, so I was hoping to go with part #'s in-hand.

I already emailed a Manitou techie, but have no response yet.

I was wondering if there are any Trek or Manitou techs here that would be able to lookup the part numbers for the frame reducer/sleeve and DU bushing for my bike.

Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks in advance!

Manitou may never get back to you. Ever since Hayes bought them, they've been moving their operation. If they haven't responded, they are probably still getting things together. You should go to the shop and hope they can help you out. Or call around and see if any other shops have some in stock. Real shops with online pages may be a good bet.

FYI Manitou Tech Help is still very much up and running. And fairly compitent/helpful. I would recomend calling them vs. email.

Got all the parts #'s i need. Now just waiting for the Bike shop to seal the deal.
