Hi, I need to replace an RP23 bushing, correct size is listed as 8x22mm, I can see various places sell 21.84mm (but not 22), will this be too loose in the frame?

Thanks

21.84 (from Mojo) worked fine for me with an RP23 in a Spesh enduro frame that takes a nominal 22. 0.16mm is a very small difference and there's no noticeable play.

Thanks Rusty90. Thought that might be the case.

I think 21.84 will be the right one anyway - for some reason bushings seem to be made in imperial sizes then they round to the nearest mm to specify what you need. Leading to uncertainty every time you need to replace.

For what it's worth, my Pivot says 36mm - and I've been putting 35.56mm (or 1.4") bushes in for the last 3 years. Seems to work OK

E-mail Mojo, I was in the same boat, I guessed a size that looked so close it couldn't be wrong - e-mailed to check, I was wrong.

I wondered re the imperial thing - TF list 22mm, others (Mojo etc)list 21.84, neither both... Thanks all, will check!

Mojo say yes, they are the same, if anyone else gets confused.

We sell 22.0mm sizes if you need any. We sell lots and lots of sizes at BETD for Fox, Manitou and Rock Shox too.
