it will be a metric one. Length ? what ever siye it comes as.

The fixing bolt head is at the base of the staunchion, so i cant readily use standard allen keys. They need to at least be the length of the stancheon. Is there a standard length?

Dont really want to buy a set of super long allen keys when I only need one.. Undoing fixing nut rotates the fixing bolt so i need the correct allen key to get the damn thing off.

Use a socket extension and driver.

Will Nunez

That may just work!! didnt think of that!

Will Nunez

have gone through manuals on suntour website looks like 5mm seems a standard fixing bolt allen key size. Will gamble ion that and try seeing if i can find socket extensions to fit

I think my old SR was a 5mm.

Will Nunez

Measured the stauncheon depth need 300mm

Looking at the exploded diagram, I don't think that you'll need any unusually long socket tools.

The pressure from the preloaded spring will hold the rod in place enough for you to bolt and unbolt it.

One side has no spring in it, this is the one i canu unto when i rotate the fixing nut at the bottom it rotates the bolt too. i cant find a 30cm hex key so am going to get socket extenders
