Replacement bolts for Rear Shock

steelo

Hi all,

Where is the best place to purchase replacement bolts to mount my rear shock? I have a 2009 Trek Fuel EX8 with a Fox RP2 XV rear shock. The head of the lower mounting bolt is beginning to round out to the point where if I do anything else with it I'd like it to be a complete removal and re-fitting of a new bolt. I don't want to risk tightening it up again (as it works loose periodically) in case I round it out completely. A torx bit fits in very well at the moment but a Hex head is almost useless.

Thanks all.

TFTuned or Mojo.

Or a shop that sells bolts.

That means measuring it's length and knowing the tread type, and then finding a local shop that sells suitable bolts. That's already more effort than picking up the phone and calling TFT to say you need a bolt for whatever shock. Don't even need to leave the house. I dunno about Steelo but there's only B&Q that sells bolts in my town, unless you want more than 100 of them.

I don't want to take the bolt out until I have the correct replacement. I'll give TFT a call!

Thanks.

True - I normally buy stuff online as I hate interacting with people.
