So I've picked up a bargain frame but it comes without a shock.
It's a brand new frame and takes a 190x50 shock.
I've found a shock but know I'll need to buy mounting hardware but what do I actually need.
Will the frame come with any bolts etc or will I need to buy bushings and bolts.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
doubtful, whats the frame?
TF have a sizer thing here http://www.tftuned.com/mount-kit-guide
Ask the seller, bolts should be included, you'll need a shock with eyelet bushings plus the mount kit
It's a GT Force Carbon, from the pics it looks like it has bolts but I'll need the mounting kit and bushings.
It's a bit of a minefield.
Not really, you need a shock, make sure it's got eyelet bushes (probably will, if not, tf do them cheap) then buy a mount kit from tf tuned. That's it.
You need to get the right shock tune for the frame.
^^^^ This. Buy the shock from TFTuned. Tell them what it is for, they will set it up and provide HD bushings for your frame.
EDIT for same price as buying off the shelf elsewhere
