FAQs

How many kits do I need for one rear shock?

You need one kit per eyelet. Since a rear shock has two eyelets, you will need two kits for one rear shock.

Will this hardware work with any brand of rear shock?

This hardware is designed specifically for RockShox rear shocks. While it fits standard 1/2" x 1/2" eyelets, compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and should be verified with the shock manufacturer.

What is the bolt mount diameter for this hardware?

The bolt mount diameter for this specific hardware kit is 8mm.

What is the frame mount width this hardware is designed for?

This hardware is designed for a frame mount width of 20mm.

Can I use this hardware on a RockShox BAR shock?

No, this hardware is not compatible with the RockShox BAR shock. You will need to contact SRAM directly for specific 12mm BAR hardware.

What should I do if my shock eyelets are damaged?

If your shock eyelets are damaged, they may need to be replaced or repaired by a qualified bike mechanic. Using damaged eyelets with new hardware can lead to further issues.

Where can I find the torque specification for installation?

Torque specifications are typically found in the service manual for your specific RockShox shock model or your bicycle frame manufacturer's documentation. Always refer to those sources for accurate torque values.

Troubleshooting

Hardware does not fit shock eyelet

Verify the eyelet size is 1/2" x 1/2". Ensure you are not attempting to use hardware with the incompatible RockShox BAR shock. Check if the bolt diameter matches your frame's requirement.

Shock feels loose or has play

Ensure you have used the correct quantity of hardware (two kits per shock). Check that all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Inspect eyelets and hardware for wear or damage.

Difficulty installing hardware

Ensure the frame mount width (20mm) is compatible. Clean any debris from the frame mount and shock eyelets. Lightly grease the bolt threads.

Bolt seizes or strips during installation

This may indicate cross-threading or overtightening. Ensure the bolt is started straight. Use appropriate torque wrench settings. If seized, professional assistance may be needed.

Pros and Cons

  • Helps maintain suspension performance and longevity.

  • Clear specifications aid in correct purchasing decisions.

Cons

  • Not compatible with RockShox BAR shocks without special ordering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Need: Determine if you need to replace worn or lost mounting hardware.
  2. Order Correct Quantity: Remember that one kit is required for each shock eyelet. Since a rear shock has two eyelets, you will need two kits for a complete installation.
  3. Installation: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific RockShox shock and bicycle frame for proper installation. Ensure the bolt is torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification to avoid damaging the shock eyelets or hardware.

Compatibility:

  • Shock Compatibility: Designed for RockShox rear shocks, *except* the BAR model. For BAR shocks, contact SRAM for specific 12mm hardware.
  • Eyelet Size: Compatible with most 1/2" x 1/2" rear shock eyelets.
  • Frame Mount Width: Intended for frames with a 20mm mount width.
  • Bolt Diameter: Uses an 8mm bolt diameter.
  • Verification: Always consult your bicycle manufacturer's documentation or contact them to confirm compatibility with your specific frame if unsure.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the mounting hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
  • Clean hardware during routine bike maintenance using a mild degreaser and a soft brush.
  • Apply a small amount of bike-specific grease to the bolt threads before installation to prevent seizing and ensure proper torque.
