Salsa Main Pivot Spacer Kit

This kit is designed for specific Salsa full-suspension models. Before purchasing, verify your frame's model year and suspension design, as pivot hardware varies significantly across the Salsa lineup. We recommend checking your bike's specific service manual or the Salsa Cycles support page to confirm the part number matches your frame's main pivot assembly.

These spacers feature an inner diameter of 17 mm, an outer diameter of 23 mm, and a thickness of 3 mm. Please measure your existing spacers with a set of digital calipers to ensure these dimensions align with your current setup.

It works for both. Whether you are performing a complete suspension overhaul or simply addressing side-to-side play in your main pivot, these spacers provide the factory-spec tolerances needed to restore proper alignment and quiet operation.

While the spacers themselves are simple components, accessing them requires removing your main pivot bolt and potentially the crankset. You will need a torque wrench to ensure the pivot assembly is tightened to the manufacturer's specified Newton-meter rating upon reassembly.

Yes, often. Creaking is frequently caused by worn spacers or improper alignment that allows the pivot hardware to shift under load. Replacing worn spacers with these factory-spec parts can eliminate that play and silence the suspension, provided the bearings themselves are still in good condition.
