Anyone know where I can source the wider damper side crush washers for a 2021 pike ?
Or can I get away with standard 8mm ones?

are you talking about the 'tophat' style ones? That you cant buy anywhere aftermarket... so you use the regular ones.... and they always leak (for me), then you get really annoyed that the OE 'tophat' style ones arent available.

Or is it a different one you are talking about?!

🤣 that doesn’t sound promising..
Haven’t taken it apart yet but the exploded diagram in the service manual shows a wider crush washer to match the wider flange on the bolt on that side..

I just tend to reuse whatever’s on it, never had a problem

I took one look at it and re-used it, surely its wide enough to give a good seal.

the top hat ones are limited in compression. i dont believe they seal any better.

Seems the only way to get one is buy the whole rebound adjuster and bolt annoyingly. Yes, mine always leak a bit anyway. Did the bolt up a bit tighter this time, no leak so far 🤞🏻

Thanks for advice all.
Seemed to be a v slight leak but there was plenty of oil in there still when I dropped the lowers. I’ll go with the same washer and bolt and keep an eye on it..

Fox washers seem ok if you can’t get the RockShox. Used em on my Lyrik
