The Warp 9 Racing Ultra Bee Triangle Pivot Bolt Kit is a durability-focused upgrade that replaces the OEM Ultra Bee triangle bolts with greaseable, one-piece pivot bolts. Because the Ultra Bee triangle rides on sleeve bushings (not bearings), the OEM bolt and bushing can wear quickly over time. This kit’s greaseable design helps protect the frame bushings, promote smoother action, and reduce wear for more consistent performance. The one-piece construction also eliminates the complex OEM multi-piece bolt arrangement with washers and bushings, simplifying the hardware and making installation more straightforward. This is an Ultra Bee-specific pivot bolt kit intended for the triangle pivot application.
The greaseable bolt design is intended to help protect the Ultra Bee’s sleeve-style frame bushings and improve longevity. By greasing the bolts with a bicycle grease gun, you can reduce wear at the bushing surface for smoother action and more reliable long-term performance compared to running the bolts dry.
Warp 9’s one-piece pivot bolt design replaces the OEM multi-piece bolts with washers and bushings. Reducing the stack of separate parts simplifies the setup, helps improve reliability, and makes the upgrade more straightforward to install and maintain.
For installation, apply the included blue thread lock to the threads of the bolt. Grease the bolts using a bicycle grease gun. After assembly, wait 10 hours before use to allow the thread lock to fully cure. These steps are important for proper retention and long-term performance.
Did you know that the Ultra Bee triangle bolts don’t use bearings? Unlike the Light Bee’s needle cage bearings, the Ultra Bee triangle rides on sleeve bushings, which can quickly wear out the OEM bolt and bushing. This kit is designed to improve performance and durability while helping extend the lifespan of your frame bushings.
