Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Shock Hardware 8X23.0 is a genuine OEM rear shock mounting kit designed to provide a precise, durable connection between your frame and rear shock. This 3-piece set is specified as 1/2" 8X23.0 (SRAM Model ID: RS-SPP-A0, Mfg. Part #: 11.4118.091.810) and ships in a compact 4.15" x 2.5" x 0.65" package weighing just 0.1 lb. The kit uses precision-machined sleeves and matched bushings to ensure smooth articulation and repeatable alignment under load. Components are finished with a corrosion-resistant coating to resist grit and moisture encountered on trail rides, while the polymer bushing surfaces minimize metal-on-metal wear and help reduce noise during suspension movement.

Key Features & Benefits

Built for reliable rear-suspension performance: • Three-piece kit: Includes sleeve and two bushing/carrier components for OEM-style mounting. • Precision machining: Tight tolerances ensure consistent alignment and contact area for longer service life. • Corrosion-resistant finish: Protects internal sleeves from rust and pitting in wet conditions. • Polymer bushing faces: Reduce wear, dampen noise, and allow smooth pivoting under load. Together these features deliver a secure, quiet and low-maintenance mount for your rear shock—critical for consistent suspension feel and predictable handling on technical climbs and descents.

Fit & Compatibility

This 8X23.0 kit is intended for RockShox-compatible rear shocks and frames that accept a 1/2" mounting sleeve with 8mm outer diameter and 23.0mm overall length spec. Confirm fit by checking your shock eyelet inner diameter and the frame's mounting hardware spec before ordering. SRAM Model ID RS-SPP-A0 and RockShox Part #11.4118.091.810 identify OEM cross-compatibility. If your bike or shock lists a different size (for example 8X20 or 10mm sleeve), do not substitute—using the wrong diameter/length can create play or binding. For questions on compatibility with a specific model or year, contact Forest Bikes support with your bike/shock model and serial numbers.

Who This Is For

This mounting hardware is aimed at mountain bikers who need a direct replacement for worn or noisy rear shock eyelet hardware. It's ideal for riders who service their suspension, rebuild linkage bearings, or replace a shock and want OEM-grade parts to preserve factory alignment and feel. Use this kit if you value dependable fitment from a trusted brand, want to eliminate creaks and slop at the shock mount, or are performing scheduled maintenance on frame linkage. It's also a smart spare to carry for bike shops and home mechanics who work on RockShox-equipped frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know this is the right size for my shock?

Check your shock eyelet inner diameter and the manufacturer's hardware specification. This kit is 1/2" sleeve with an 8mm outer spec and 23.0mm length; compare those numbers to your existing hardware or the shock/frame tech docs.

Does this kit include bolts or washers?

No. The RockShox Shock Hardware 8X23.0 includes the 3-piece sleeve/bushing components only. Use your existing mounting bolt, washer and torque specs—replace fasteners if they're worn or corroded.

Can I install this myself?

Yes—installation is straightforward for a competent home mechanic with basic tools. Lightly grease the sleeve and bushing faces with suspension-safe grease, press into the eyelet, and torque the mounting bolt to the shock/frame manufacturer's specification.

How often should I replace shock mounting hardware?

Inspect hardware during regular service intervals (every 50–100 hours or annually). Replace if you see play, ovalization, corrosion, or bushing wear—doing so preserves suspension performance and prevents damage to shock or frame.

Is this compatible with non-RockShox shocks?

It can be compatible if the eyelet dimensions match (1/2" sleeve, 8mm OD, 23.0mm length). Always verify measurements and consult your shock/frame manufacturer's fitment recommendations before mixing parts.

What torque should I use on the mounting bolt?

Torque values depend on your shock and frame manufacturer's specs. Typically rear shock mounting bolts are torqued between 8–12 Nm, but always follow the published torque for your specific components to avoid damage or loosening.

Buying Guide

When choosing rear shock mounting hardware, match the sleeve diameter and length exactly to your shock and frame specification. OEM RockShox kits like the 8X23.0 are made to factory tolerances and are the safest choice for direct replacements. Also inspect the mounting bolt and surrounding linkage bearings while you're at it—replacing worn bolts or bearings at the same service interval avoids uneven wear and maintains precise suspension kinematics.
