Anybody seen 22.8x8 mounting hardware for sale anywhere?

RS or Cane Creek will do as it's for a CCDBA.

It's an odd size I've not seen before.

TF are an official service centre for Cane Creek, and sell CCDB Air so they should do them.

Though don't know how these sizes translate: http://www.tftuned.com/shock-mount-hardware/cane-creek-mount-kits/c205

Ask them and they can advise. Or ask CC. Their support forum is pretty helpful.

Offset Bushings will make any size in offset or non-offset format

My starling bushings came from there

Already checked TF and they don't appear to stock 22.8mm. I did note that they'll get them made and will use that as a last resort.

I've emailed NS, my frame manufacturer, and asked if they can point me i the direction of a stockist.

Will check out Offset Bushings, thanks for the tip.

Bit of an update, on the off chance someone else is searching in the future:

I never did get a reply from NS about the shock hardware availability for my Snabb Enduro frame. The query was made through the contact form on their website so shouldn't have got lost in the ether.

On a side note, a pet hate of mine is when manufacturers update their website with the current year's models and remove ALL reference to the older products, that in a lot of cases are still being sold be retailers. YOUR CUSTOMERS OFTEN NEED A REFERENCE FOR YOUR OLDER PRODUCTS!!! </rant>

Having been very recently burnt by sellers/manufacturers listing incorrect information about their products on their websites I took the shock off the frame and measured the original hardware with my calipers. Both upper and lower shock hardware are 22.2mm wide, so the phantom 22.8mm listed on CRC is a mistake.

Glad I checked before I got some made up.

Just in case the OP is still reading - you shouldn't need peculiar hardware for a CCDB air.

It's the DU bushing that's an unusual external diameter, but the internal diameter matches up with other brands.

Thanks Chakaping

With the aid of some calipers I'd managed to work that out over the weekend.

I've got some 14.7mm bushings and a pair of RS 22.2mm mounting hardware kits on their way to me now.
