Salsa Split Pivot Rear Shock Eyelet Reducer

This reducer adapts your rear shock's eyelet diameter to match the specific mounting hardware requirements of your Salsa Split Pivot frame. It ensures a precise, play-free connection between the shock and the frame, which is critical for maintaining the suspension's intended kinematics.

This part is designed specifically for Salsa frames utilizing the Split Pivot suspension system. You should verify your frame's model year and shock mounting specifications against the manufacturer part number 20QP1200001-02 to ensure it is the correct fit for your setup.

While you can often press these into the shock eyelet using a standard shock bushing tool or a simple bench vise with soft jaws, you should be careful to press them in squarely. Avoid using a hammer, as it can damage the reducer or the shock eyelet itself.

Yes, if the play is caused by worn-out or incorrectly sized reducers, replacing them with this OEM part will typically resolve the issue. However, if the play persists after installation, you should also inspect your shock mounting hardware and frame pivots for wear.

It is good practice to inspect them during every major shock service. If you notice visible wear, scoring, or if the reducer no longer fits snugly in the eyelet, it is time to replace them to prevent damage to your shock's mounting points.
