I have a 2018 RM instinct and have noticed a loose feeling in the rear triangle after long rides. After checking the rear triangle, the bolt that connects the seat stay and chainstay on the drive side has been coming loose. I tried putting loctite on the threads but it still ends up coming loose. Any advice on what could be the problem or any solutions? Thanks!

A worn bearing at the pivot may be causing the bolt to unthread.

If the bearing is good and the bolt being torqued correctly then you could consider stronger loctite. For a bearing pivot your can use loctite with either a 10nm or even 20nm breakaway force. Otherwise, once the bolt has been ridden whilst unthreaded, it may have dulled the threads in which case a new bolt may also help!!

Only place I know to get a rear triangle is rocky crash replacement, they come with new bearings too. When I needed new stays was fairly quick and easy from my dealer even though I bought the frame used from somewhere else.

Curious what price range was for your crash replacement stays?

I paid $350 for just the seat stays, my guess around 750
