    Anyone know where to get replacement shock bolts on the cheap? Needing one for a Trek Superfly. Alpine can order me one but looking for it quick.

    Measure it and ask your local fasteners supplier.

    I live near a Cofast who have boxes and boxes of all sorts of permutations of metric bolts right there on the shelf including ones with an unthreaded ‘shoulder’ like shock bolts. Last time I went in amongst other bits and bobs I got a handful of stainless m5 with half unthreaded half threaded for a quid.

    On that basis I can’t imagine a single long-ish stainless m6 or m8 bolt being any more than a quid, iirc cofast have a minimum ‘line price’ of a quid so you might even end up with three or four costing you the same as a single one.

    just make sure it’s a decent grade steel, not cheap steel that may snap. They have numbers stamped on the bolts to show the strength I think
