In order for a rear shock to properly fit on your mountain bike, it needs the right mounting hardware. Mounting hardware is one of those things that often causes people to overthink it but in-fact, it’s quite simple.
When taking a look at a brand new, aftermarket shock, you’ll notice that there’s an open hole on each end. These are known as eyelets. If you try to install this shock on a bike, it won’t fit as the space in the frame is wider than the shock eyelet itself, and the bolt is way too small for the eyelet. To make it fit properly, you’ll need mounting hardware.
