Some of the guys that have the SGS DH's up here have either tapped the hole for a larger bolt or use a longer bolt. I've got my set up with a bottle cage bolt and washer in the hole on the bottom of the chainstay and the stock bolt on the end of the stay, both with blue locktite. With this setup I've destroyed one der. without any major damage to the hanger or threads. Hope this helps.

I found some long ass bolts that fit the threads, then cut em down so they fit, I used a shit load of locktite. Just check them every ride.

Ditto. You gotta use longer bolts and loctite. I tapped my holes out so they can take a really long bolt.

no sir, even if you just buy longer bolts you will be ok, the holes are about 2x longer than the bolts that came w/ it.
I think I actually ended up using screws, that was the only thing that fit. Just go to a specialty store that sells metric bolts, fastners ect. It sucks becasue the hanger is concave where the bolt goes.
