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 [url= http://http://www.cofast.co.uk/ ]Cofast[/url] 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
