I know it's M8x22m, and I THINK is 12mm wide. But bike is in the LBS and mechanic is out today. TFT have some in stock but they have 12mm and 12.7mm so I want to order the right ones. Anyone know? Ta.

That's not very clear is it. Sorry I meant the eyelet bushing... as per desc here: http://www.tftunedshox.com/info/mount_kits_bushings.aspx

You can buy them direct from Pace, which'll save you the hassle - you know you need the DT spherical mounts and bits don't you? They're not the same as Fox mounts and according to Pace, the rotational movement is important. I'd give Pace a ring, they were helpful last time I spoke to them re bearings.

Edit: I'm not sure you can simply replace the central bush in the original DT mounting hardware, I think you just press out the whole spherical gubbins, from memory...

Dunno why I didn't think of that. Spoke to them and will get a set ordered. I'm not convinced about those spherical bearings.... anyway I'll stick in a whole mounting kit and go do from there. Cheers.

No worries. I don't know about the spereish either. The RP23 seems to work just fine with normal bushings - less floaty than the DT shock, but better damped I think.
