I got a new rear shock ('09 monarch) and it has a different lower eyelet diameter (1/2" versus 12 mm Ario that came with the bike). I got a new rock shox eyelet hardware kit. The stock RS spacer kit has a slightly larger inner diameter. Now the lower motobecane pivot bolt has play. I measured the lower pivot bolt at 7.82mm diameter. I really need a lower pivot bolt that is truly 8 mm diameter.
Does anyone know if motobecane updated their lower pivot bolt? I would image that since rock shox updated their lower eyelet diameter to 1/2" on their '08-'09 shocks, motobecane or anyone updating their frame will need the new spacer kit and 8mm pivot bolt. Unfortunately, I cannot source a hollow hex pivot bolt from mcmaster, fastenal... I suspect they are available somewhere, but I dont have a source or know where to look...
