This is kind of a general knowledge on reducer specs that im trying to figure out for an online order.

If a reducer is 8 X 34 mm - 15mm.

I know that the 34mm is the the length of the 2 reducers together but other then that im lost.

any help?

Link? 34mm is, as you said, the total width of the reducer setup and shock. 8mm is the diameter of the mounting bolt. I have no idea WTF they are talking about with the 15mm, that's not a normal dimension for anything.

Thats also what is confusing me. Its for the lower mount on a Revox with an M6. Its the last point I can figure out where im getting a tiny tiny bit of play.
Anyway I know 34mm is correct, I got that info directly from Intense. The 8mm has me wondering though because my mounting bolts say 12.9 on them and I always thought they were 8mm.

12.9 has to do with the quality of the bolts, nothing related to the size. Still have no idea what the fvck that 15mm is but the 8.0x34 is right if you're confident about the width.

I believe 15mm refers to the size of the shock eyelet. Fox, Rockshox Vivid & Monarch, Marz Roco, Manitou (2011 and later), Elka, and Diverse all use 15mm eyelets.
