Hello r/CanyonBikes

I was cleaning up my torque today and noticed a pivot bolt was very loose. I went to tighten it back down and I can not get it to thread into the other side of the triangle. Before doing this I took all pressure out of the rear shock and I tried to support the weight of the bike's rear while attempting to tighten the bolt. Has anyone else ran into a similar issue?

Is this bolt cooked?

Is my triangle cooked?

Am I just an idiot?

How hot should I expect my credit card to get?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you all!

    UPDATE:
    the answer is I’m just an idiot.

    Took off the rear tire. Cleaned all the treads really well and regreased. Then I was able to get the bolt to thread through the triangle while not putting the bolt through the frame as a test. Test went well, aligned everything up all nice, stuck my hex wrench fully into the bolt and she went in real nice.

    Hopefully this helps any future fellow idiots.

    Cheers!
