Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Bearing Adapter Socket Tool (8x30) is a purpose-built service tool used to install and remove the rear shock bearing adapter kit on select RockShox units. Designed to match the OEM adapter geometry exactly, the socket guarantees correct seating and protects the shock's eyelet and bearing surfaces during service. The tool is CNC-machined from hardened chrome-vanadium steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black oxide. Its precision 8x30 sizing ensures repeatable alignment and even load distribution when used with a press or appropriate driver — reducing the risk of misalignment, galling, and premature wear on expensive shock components.

Key Features

Purpose-built fit: The 8x30 profile matches RockShox rear shock bearing adapter kits for a snug, conforming fit that minimizes slop during install and removal. Durable construction: Heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel with a protective finish stands up to repeated shop use while protecting the shock's surfaces. Compact, lightweight design (0.15 lb) fits easily in a tool roll or service kit. • OEM part number 00.4318.089.000 / RockShox PN 902616 • SRAM model ID: TL-RST-BADP-A1 • Designed for Vivid C1 (2024+) and Super Deluxe Coil B1+ (2023+)

Fit & Compatibility

This socket is specifically sized for the RockShox rear shock bearing adapter kit (8x30). Confirm compatibility before purchase: it is intended for the Vivid C1 (2024 and newer) and Super Deluxe Coil B1+ (2023 and newer) rear shocks. Using the correct OEM tool prevents damage to the shock eyelets and ensures proper bushing/bearing seating. Manufacturer details: RockShox part number 00.4318.089.000, Forest Bikes product number 902616, and SRAM model ID TL-RST-BADP-A1. If your shock or adapter uses a different diameter/length, select the matching RockShox adapter socket to avoid misfit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shocks is this socket compatible with?

This socket is designed for RockShox rear shocks using the 8x30 bearing adapter kit, specifically the Vivid C1 (2024+) and Super Deluxe Coil B1+ (2023+). Check your shock's service manual or part number to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Can I use this tool with a bench press or hand tools?

Yes — the socket is intended for use with a bearing press or compatible shop press for controlled installs and removals. For light work, it can be used with a soft-faced mallet, but avoid heavy hammering or misaligned impacts to prevent damage.

Is this an official RockShox OEM tool?

Yes. This is the OEM RockShox tool (manufacturer part 00.4318.089.000), sold under RockShox and listed with SRAM model ID TL-RST-BADP-A1 for correct service reference.

What is the tool made from and how durable is it?

The socket is CNC-machined from hardened chrome-vanadium steel and finished with black oxide for corrosion resistance. It’s engineered for repeated shop use and will withstand the loads typical of bearing adapter installs and removals.

Will this prevent damage to my shock when installing adapter kits?

When used correctly with proper alignment and a press or soft-faced mallet, the socket helps distribute load evenly and greatly reduces the risk of damaging the shock eyelet or bearing surfaces compared with improvised tools.

What if my adapter dimensions differ from 8x30?

This socket is only for 8x30 adapter kits. If your adapter is a different diameter or length, do not use this tool — select the matching RockShox adapter socket to ensure safe, correct installs.

Buying Guide

When buying a bearing adapter socket, always match the tool to the adapter dimensions (in this case 8x30) and the shock model. OEM sockets like this RockShox tool provide exact geometry for safe installs and removals — reducing the chance of damaging expensive shock eyelets or bearings. If you service shocks routinely, invest in a small set of OEM sockets, a bench or bearing press, and the correct adapter kits. For occasional home maintenance, confirm your shock model year and adapter size before ordering to ensure compatibility.
