I need to know the length of the bottom foot bolt on my 2019 Rockshock Lyric RC2 Forks, that's the black one on the air spring side (Left). Serviced my forks and forgot to tighten that one up, went out... bolt lost. I know it is an M8 size but need to know the length of threaded section. Buying the bolt cost £16 quid as you need to get both foot bolts as part of a kit, rip off by Rockshox. I have loads of bolts to fit, just need to trim length and use crush washer...£3 tops. If anyone can be bothered nipping out and measuring the bolt that'd be great. Cheers

But the bolt head has a recess that crush washer fits into. The washer is then squashed down, almost, flush. It's also alloy. To try and answer your question, the one on my Yari looks the same and is 14mm.

Not the same, it is a steel alloy bolt and I'm sure its longer about 20mm, spoke to the guy at TF tuned and he said it's 30mm and agrees I could use any bolt that side but I think that's too long....the other fork bottom bolt for rebound dampening is made from aluminium. Doesn't matter about the crush washer recess as long as it creates the seal, I'm using a stainless steel M8 X 18mm allen head bolt at the moment with a piece of thin soft plastic drilled to m8 as the crush-washer, works perfectly..."pro quick fix".....but I want to know what length this actual bolt is. Cheers for getting back to me though.?
